Holy hands laid
On her small chest
A tiny bird, a wounded rabbit
Flesh, blood, bones binding spirit
He anointed our baby with oil
She glistened,
A sacred being, broken, perfect
We waited for burning bushes
Parting seas, fish and loves.
Shunned herbs, poultices.
Murmured prayers
She grew still.
She grew still.
We cursed His Name
