What is too sublime for you, seek not, i

(First Reading)
Elizabeth of Hungary
She was known
for
mismanagement
and
giving away
food and clothes
to the poor
who

as
meadow flowers

sustained
her but Louis
needed roses
red
and white
to
confirm whom
his wife found
Christ
suffering
and
reigning
and
hiding in all
