Reynolds & Midway XXXIV

Genesis 34

When Dinah, child of Leah, went out to see
the 'daughters of the land', she was 'defiled'
by Shechem, who then cleavd to her & wisht
her for a wife. & then a bloody mess.
To my small mind, also to speak the truth,
at least the shade of it dimly aglow
in the pink & bloody meat of my simple heart:
The man's a beast who takes an innocent
by his mere muscle, by a fashiond arm,
or under threat of any kind of harm—
a beast, no more. Christ, may his balls be severd,
his name dishonord, shamed. May this petition
be thought of, Lord, by You, & God the Father,
an he wld genuflect, & mock contrition.
