A tremor, a quiver, a vibration
a transfer of energy, of power
an act of faith, of healing
He sensed her touch,
touching only his clothes;
but he felt it none the less
even in the bustling throng,
the jostling crowd
A touch, a prayer, healing
He paused, to find her,
to give her words of comfort
to acknowledge her faith
A living priest, making her clean
making her whole
