The Brokenness of Christ
THE BROKENNESS OF CHRIST
evil salivates
at the brokenness of Christ
unzipping of flesh
a lowly mock crown
the nettles dig in and sting
blood like tears forgive
holes punched into palms
surreal Roman nails impale
perpetuity
worn down and lifeless
his body lowered to ground
the finality
a serpentine laugh
the hiss of betrayal’s kiss
a stone seals the deal
angels gathering
lighting up the darkest night
in awe of the King
a massive stone throw
the dawning of a new age
rekindling heartstrings
O how the dawn sings
colors of exultation
expressions of love

Not us but Him! It’s what Jesus did.
