Curse

An apple, an ankle
They fester and rankle
A balm is prepared
The shoulders are bared
The field of the potter
the lamb for the slaughter
A heart in two pieces 
Darkness increases
The crack of a whip
A stumble, a slip
The flesh and the thorn
A hope yet unborn
...
...
...
...
The spirit releases
To flaming increases
A great conflagration
The birth of a nation 
Ascent to the throne
He gathers his own
And draws out the rot
Beyond sight or thought
And treats the disease
And heals by degrees
The grave is amended
A glory intended.
