you said

you said this is my body
broken for you; your body
bread to sustain us
 
you said this is my blood
poured out for you like wine
poured out at a feast
 
you said this is my last meal
until the kingdom is
fully formed in us
and we make it our home
 
you said the only power that matters
is the power to serve one another
 
you said that the greatest love
is to lay down your life
for your friends, and then
you made us all friends
 
you said it is finished
but it was a beginning
 
you said we need to die
in order to live
 
and now we are all waiting
your wounds still only wounds
not yet beautiful
 
you are not yet risen, and are abandoned
goodbye, goodbye, God be with you
