All the full stream of thy love,
Love that knows no mortal bounding,

Katy Giebenhain, an American living in Berlin, Germany, depicts a ritual that many diabetics undergo several times per day: testing one’s blood sugar.

Long in one place she will not stay:
Back from your brow she strokes the curls,
