The grave, death’s black heart,
has ruptured.
From its torn aorta
alive blood fountains, channelling eternity
into chalices for us.
A body bounds out (we see it
as certain as the Marys
in bread),
athletic,
sprinting to save us.
The grave, death’s black heart,
has ruptured.
From its torn aorta
alive blood fountains, channelling eternity
into chalices for us.
