I Am the Sacrifice

He said, “I am the Bread,
the bread that gives life.”
the metaphor, he is the way
the bridge between man and God

But made real, urgent
leaving nothing unspoken
connecting the thoughts together
in the next words
spoken clearly by the Son

The bread his body
I am the sacrifice.
the bread of heaven
broken and shared
that the world may have life.
