I rose from marsh mud
algae, equisetum, willows,
sweet green, noisy
birds and frogs
to see her wed in the rich
rich silence of the church,
the little white slave-girl
in her diamond fronds.
In aisle and arch
the stain secret collects.
United for life to serve
silver. Possessed.

hehe the ending part is quite powerful.
"Possessed". Beautiful poem, Madam Blue.
