FAITH HEALED

it didn't take God long
for figuring out
your story
as you longed to be healed
what was revealed
was your story
in the context of impassioned
love from a proxy doctor
greater than
any medicine man
in any prayer line
filled with the psychosomatic
sickness of your time
despair,wanting no glory
but your condition being real
with the issue of blood
in a foreign body
you were faith healed
no matter what anyone said
about knowledge
of your former husbands
you were ready
on your bed
to tell your story
on a clean slate and sheet
prepared even to rise
from the dead.
