Amfortas's Heart Poem by Liza Sud

Amfortas's Heart



Amfortas's heart is always aching,
because he has commited sin!
He met with Kundri laughing, scoffing
And he betrayed his God by this.

He's punished and his whole country
We all - are Body of One Christ.
We need a Sacred Christian bowl
And need a Virgine to save us.

I am so taken by YOUR Wagner poems, they are helping cross a threshold - from narrative to prayer. That's what I sense in this poem: you tell the story of Amfortas's rash, vain, really stupid attack alone against Klingsor castle but it is Kundry who defeats him - and at that moment in your poem at line 5 the poem becomes a hymn
