Where the hard, chile con queso isn’t worth dipping into.
Where the hard, chile con queso isn’t worth dipping into.
- Gary Edward Geraci
A traditional, 12 stanza ghazal. The first four stanzas describe a familiy’s difficult but rewarding task of raising a Down Syndrome baby. The next four stanzas describe the slow, cultural conversion of the abortion mindset. The last three out of four stanzas describe Christ’s redemptive work in the process through his Sacraments and Church and the last stanza is the poet’s signature; himself a sinner.
