Quite Stroked in Quarters
Gregory De Feo
For Gideon
Fear amassed was homeward bound
When at some water courage led,
Aloof not but appraised
Raised heads
Blessed and covered
Sent to war and won the fight
That was their Lord's.
Came near undone with hasty
Vow
Where lastly virgin to be
Kept;
And ephod sanctioned by the One
Who Gideon hailed and also from
Their land ensnared but not undone.
