What must he have
felt, sharing in the meal
holding Christ’s
body in his hands
did he choke in
eating it
the truth laid out
for him
in these new words
Christ spoke
the invocation,
the intoning of the words
these words of his
teacher, his master, Rabbi
changing the
ancient words of remembrance
saying something
entirely new, a new covenant
the morsel of bread
dipped, shared from his hands
his words to go,
to do that which is planned quickly
what must he have
thought, in that moment
doubt, confusion,
steps set in motion
unable to return,
to pull back
the wheels of time
turning
his body, his
blood
his sacrifice, for
us,
dripping on his
hands
