The Healing
Descent, rejoicing into Hell:
healing wooden stake
well-stropped green wood
pierced unbeating heart
just after sun’s true dawn
forced cold quiescence.
Wood, true death of trees
old Aaron’s rod to contrary
surcease of wicked immortality
which lightly could endure
lead, steel or bronze.
Thus ending were-life
long ago conferred
by thirsty passion’s
half-accepted, sharp
love-counterfeiting
tainted kiss.
