New credence

Most of us have had our doctors feel they know best (and often they do). My trip to NIH and the recommendations from that visit have had an amazing weight. Amazing.

I have gained

New credence

With my doctors.

Any recommendation

From that special place

Bears the weight

Of the angels

Maybe even

Of God.

Of course the angels

Are light as the feathers

On their shoulders

And God

Well

Of course

God

Is unknowably heavy.

They must know

What they talk about.

They must know.

It’s a given.

I would bestow

This new credence

On everyone I love

And even all

I don’t.
