The Holy Week In Review
a wake
in an Irish
pub where
a toast goes
out to my
Cuban
mechanic
Jesus
"Hope the Devil don't
know that
I've died
til half an hour
after I've gotten
to the other side."
that says it
hit the nail
on the head
while one was
playing mumbly
peg first
the left then right
hand
two were
playing chess
his crowned pawn
is now a king
while three had
rolled more away
then stoned
four were
staggering home
the extra one denying
to his wife
he never heard
last call
three times
leaving me hanging
around throwing
coins of silver over
confessing to
the bartender
i'll have
another
pouring a cup of
recently turned
water to wine
it tastes corked
tastes of vinegar
another bottle please
of Jesus
