Matthew rising
praying now with Jesus
the words he had spoken
in secret, in the temple
rising from his bench
sitting at his table
collecting Rome’s taxes
knowing he was a sinner
Called by Christ
praying with Jesus
the tears of a sinner
as he was forgiven
Matthew following
leaving the table
the life that he knew
left in the ancient past
