Easter Song

Head throbbing

Lungs bursting

Rain beating against my face

Arms numb

Legs cramped

Pain excruciating in its embrace

Hands swollen

And screaming,

I wonder why I’m here

Cannot remember

Cannot think

Nothing is clear

Looking out

I see people

Women and men.

Looking down

I see faces

Do I know them?

Noises

Shouts

Anger and tears

I seem to be

The focus of

All their fears

Mouth dry

I cry out

A drink is sent

A sponge

Well soaked

My thirst is vent

Thunder

Lightning

The sky is rent

A spear in my side

And my life is spent.
