46. The Gift of His Hand
Two sisters,
The whores, Oholah and Oholibah,
Who caused You great pain,
One not as bad as the other
But both as bad
As one needs to be.
I wonder if they ever fought over
Who was worst–a point of pride–
Or if either took to soaking
Their pillow at night,
knowing full well
They stooped too low
and coerced the other
to see life from a pit,
A vantage point
From which not even
The jewel in God's own heart
Can climb from without
The gift of His hand.
