Infirmity
O bitter tonic
removing dross
like refining fire;
cleansing palate and conscience
til remains only the bones of faith
hitherto only imagined.
Absence
of chaff and frivolity
living only the wriggling germ of hope
fragile and raw
yet fertile
in burgeoning soil
---a mustard seed
in stark contrast set
to flourish or fail
free of the trappings of anxiety and latent desire---
purity unmanaged;
clarity in dependence.
Here resides only life and Lord
no fitter pair to meet
in such and hour.
