What
must Judas have felt, sharing in the meal
Christ’s
invocation, the intoning of his words
these
words of the teacher, the master, Rabbi
changing
ancient words of remembrance
saying
something entirely new, a new covenant
of
a sacrifice to come, His body, His blood
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,
the confusion, steps set in motion
unable
to return, to pull back
the
wheels of time turning
His
body, His blood
His
sacrifice,
dripping
on his fingers
out
into the night, no hope
only
darkness tomorrow
