Left-handed grace
Left handed right-thighed blade
paused and poised to pierce
a grease-gummed heart.
Surrounded by fat, grown
on the fresh flesh
of the good shepherd’s sheep.
A left-handed sword for a left
handed goat's stone heart.
Ehud, a judge of justice
bringing right-thighed
grace to be swallowed
hilt and all
by the fat
of exile.
