The curtain, the fabric cut,
heaven exposed, revealed
to the one rising from the Jordan
the one Son of God
Torn open, an opening,
the Spirit, like a flame, like a wind,
like a dove, falling, descending
alighting on him
An image of heaven, for the man
the son of the carpenter, Mary’s son
born in a stable bed, rising from John’s arms
a new creation indeed
A stitch in heaven, an opening in the curtain
the voice of God affirming
the calling of the Lord
This is my son, with whom I am well pleased
