Holy Week Poems - Thursday

Holy Thursday

Arrange the table, prep the meal
A few more grains descend
Lean in close t’ward sweet reveal
Oh, sacrament, begin


Sing and pray, then take some rest
While blood drops fall as sand
Upon this field of violence
Of combat, soul and hand



Then follow on, yet stand apart
Beware the watchful eye
Acidic lies slide off the tongue
While fading hours slip by



But morning's call doth break the spell
Confront thy sin . . . and cry
