Psalm 118:24, Matthew 26:26-30
Carefully braided candlelight
shadows dusty men
licking breadcrumbs from their fingers
Clueless but celebrating
Four sparkling cups of wine
– To history, legacy, promise, future –
Communion of companions:
Twelve travelers dreaming
– of money, honor, power, redemption –
Crowning the Chosen One
He who now breaks bread
reciting lines written for him by ancestors
Courageous in his contradiction
Hear him sing: “This is the day –
let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Maundy Thursday, 2015
