Following a long battle
with broken bones slow to mend
from an automobile crash,
a woman in hospital
summoned late night the on-call
chaplain to her bedside and
when he arrived she did say
but one word, “Watch,” . . . whereupon
she carefully raised her right
hand to midair then placed her
forefinger next to her thumb,
rubbing the two together
for the first time in nine months.
There was much weeping for joy.
