Through the haze of dust came The miraculous love. Love brought vapors of sweet befores. “Ahh the smell,” thought he, “This be the Temptation of youth.” Girls doused in Thick smell: summer’s scented sand. T’was not many girls, but one. One who He loved—He fathomed possible. Soap and towel, given for the purge. Dunked in baptismal waters, But the earth was resilient. The details are in the fabric. The fabric is in the details. Was it his stitching, or the towel’s? imprinted with a thorny crown.

6. Veronica wipes the face of Georg
Through the haze of dust came The miraculous love. Love brought vapors of sweet befores. “Ahh the smell,” thought he, “This be the Temptation of youth.” Girls doused in Thick smell: summer’s scented sand. T’was not many girls, but one. One who He loved—He fathomed possible. Soap and towel, given for the purge. Dunked in baptismal waters, But the earth was resilient. The details are in the fabric. The fabric is in the details. Was it his stitching, or the towel’s? imprinted with a thorny crown.
