infant son of lust and power,
union of a king uncrowned
and wife of Gentile warrior -
I shall bear the burden of my
grieving father's sin
the prophet spoke, my fate is sealed
the sickness set upon me
- this terrible privilege of atonement -
will consume my
tiny life
and I will die
but my father?
he shall live
and from his ***** my brother
shall come forth
that other Son in whose shadow
I shall stake my
checkered hidden place
Solomon first,
and later, when the sun
bursts forth,
our mutual fulfilment:
Christ the Lord
