Michael Shepherd - Poem for the Sorely Tested

Beside the telephone
a full-size, professional
real leather
punchbag
on a hefty, weighted
non-shift stand
and with a substantial
recoil

inscribed in fine gold lettering
'I am sent to try you'

that deals with
the human
and the divine
aspects
together


(For Tara)
