shall we do the stations
again today?
shall we attend tenebrae?
(quiet yourself) (let everything that
breathes be silent)
the candles are slowly
extinguished
until only one remains
tenebrae means darkness
yet I always think of
vertebrae
this darkness a backbone
the weight of silence
doubt some sort of
foundation
from which to leap start
how long do we ignore joy?
at the end of it all
a shout a great drumming thunder
my heart
my heart
my
heart
