“The one who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.”- John 13:16


“Judas, is it with this kiss that you betray the Son of Man? ” –Luke 22:48

I wonder at the blunder
of your desire for her;

were her arms thin
and supple and soft
and very white
so that as she held you
once you could not bear
but to divide your self,
and not for ours but only
your own stake?

Was her virgin mouth
rounded and red like
an apple, cleaner than
air as you pressed her
lips unseen, calling
your veins into existence?

Was her conception greater
than your lofty place of ascent,
her promise too true to hold
your own…
was it worth it to bring
everything down closer?

Oh! My God, what did you do
in developing a negative of your
own image, in creating what you
had at once forbade, and uplifting
our dying layers of skin and hair
and blood desperate for release
through the gravity of the grave?

Who will imitate you
as you remain unseen?

Who will judge the word
that was spoken, spoken by
you into silence,

and see you convicted of idling?
