Poem for Lent: The Prayer Rope Knot by William Thompson:
contd. here
Each time the monk who learned this knot
had tied his own, a devil came
& loosened it. Eventually
the monk, just as the devil hoped,
got pissed; he couldn’t pray at all.
That night his angel wakened him
& taught him how to interweave
double strands into a web
of 7 crosses.
