dripping on his hands



God’s sacrifice,
dripping on his hands
in the upper room
on that fateful night
the betrayer and the Lamb

The love of God pouring out
the morsel of bread
a piece of God’s body
sitting in his hands
the room filling with dread

Go, do this now,
what you have planned
the urgent exchange
in the upper room between
the betrayer and the Lamb
