He
claimed no responsibility, no ownership
of
the injustice, the unholy death
of
the innocent man, Jesus,
Absolving
himself, washing,
washing
the stain from his hands
cleaning
the tattoo, as if he could,
with
mere water
this
permanent stain
He
was trying to be clean
washing
away the killing
of
righteousness, expedient
to
maintain order, power
Sacrificing
unblemished flesh
to
the jackals in the courtyard
a
curse brought upon himself,
trying
to wash away the guilt

We are doing Lenten Dramas from:

It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing
