+------Curses Of Canaan; The Canaanite Woman's Plea To Jesus For Her Daughter

At night, every night, my
daughter, her soul inverts…
normally petulant and sedentary
she turns noctambulist,
docile. A deer sprouting
horns and fangs to run with
wolves. I hear her soft incessant
mantras, face pale, eyes opal in
the full moon – “Noah’s curse!
…Noah’s curse!…I am Ham, the sling
of David, taunt…of Goliath slain!” Then
shrills violent and quivers,
interspersed growling. And sir I
know we are but to Hebrews dogs,
but even a dog doesn’t deserve this.
I apologize…for sins of my fathers.
Please…heal my daughter.

-----Matthew 15:21-28
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
