CAUSE/EFFECT PSALM (for Galway Kinnell)
If agency has consequence,
How can Atonement win?
How can the Blood make recompense –
The Spirit rinse our sin?
The Harmless One who did no wrong
Had most to overcome –
He suffered more than penalty
For wrongs He had not done.
In spite of overwhelming faults,
Self-pity is now gone –
Remitted by the grace of Good –
The stirring of the Swan.
