STRANGE FLESH

STRANGE FLESH
A bond far closer than a brother,
A hymen broken like the body of Christ—
The spear of the Roman
Pierced another side of the divine .
A spirited woman
Gave up her ghost, violent like a poltergeist.
Once she washed the Saviour’s feet with tears;
Now she’s washing the sheets with holy fear .
Quivers of strange flesh, bodies as shrines…
I knew her as I knew no other,
Yet we barely know each other otherwise .
Rivers of blood, shivers down the spine...
In the Biblical sense, we only know the price.
