The drop of blood from the nose,
The red spattered linen after
The cough - the curse of cancer supposed
Inevitable. the call. hereafter,
A long list of tropes for a
Producer to pick from: objects,
Gestures, and words signifying a
Certain reality for subjects
Human, made clear, reasonable,
The corporeal to the
Intelligible; mind to will;
Signs for man’s condition. the
Christ brings us the physical,
For cleansing and growth in virtue,
His words spoken now Gospel,
And His actions - to make us new.

Argghh! The fatal moments when we consult 'Dr Google' and imagine we have caught every malady under the sun! Sort of relating to your Verse 1.

Amen, Orchidee. Praying that you are well in both body and soul!
Visual verses, Gary!
