Frank,
The summation of the final lines seems very poignant. This sounds like a
ward - is that what bed north 8 refers to? I find myself asking, "Who is
Jesus," in this poem, if the girl no longer believes in him? Is it that he
still visits those whose faith is damaged by experience, or that the girl's
visitor is now her Jesus, because this is the person who provides comfort?
Regards,
Russ
