Season of Shame Part 7

i.

the four Marys
and the other women
followed after
and watched His tomb

no need for perfumes
no need for spices

sometimes
in the kingdom
just being there
makes a difference

sympathy.


ii.

the echo of hammer blows
across the hill
is long gone
justice is rolled down
like the stone
in My grave
don’t call the gardener
to mourning
and those skilled in laments
to wail
don’t hold a banquet
no victory parades
just prepare a piece
of broiled fish
run!
prepare to meet
your God

resurrection.
