The Morsel of Bread – v27

What must he have felt, sharing in the meal
the invocation, the intoning of the words
these words of the teacher, the 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,
the doubt, the confusion, steps set in motion
unable to pull back, the wheels of time turning
His body, His blood, His sacrifice,

dripping on his hands.
