What must Judas
have felt, sharing in the meal
his last supper,
like Jesus,
because he would
take his own life
though he didn’t
know this yet.
the invocation,
the intoning of the words
these words of the
Teacher, the Master, their 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 Judas
have thought, in that moment
eating the meal,
running into the night.
the doubt, the
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
as he ran into
that night.
