death shroud.ii

this contemplation of Jesus' death is not through for me. i think there are more poems coming in a progression. if i were a normal person, i would write them and say this with some certainty. being me, i cannot say that with any degree of certainty.

i keep thinking about mary walking away from the tomb. the outbreak of demonic activity that is sure to have taken place when they thought they conquered the King of kings. much like the slaying of aslan and ensuing revelry. susan and lucy mourned the loss of their friend and loved one, while the shaved king lay motionless. it seems darkness has triumphed and i cannot get that out of my mind.
