Special Section -- Spirit



Disbelief | to pdf >>
By Kurt Smidt-Jernstrom, MDiV, MA

she listened apprehensively

for the sounds

of marrow exploding

deep in her bones,

portending the disintegration

of her life.

Hearing nothing

and buoyed

by an infusion of packed cells

she insisted

that it was

a mistake.
