An Easter banquet. A Good Friday fast that ends in gorging. A slaughtered lamb with hands and flesh on the table. Blood on the napkins and silence. Emptiness at the head of the table, save for forks scraping cheap porcelain. We save the good plates for good days, so naturally, they’ve never been used. I wonder how it feels to have never held food in my palms. Give me five thousand and I will feed them all. Give me an all-you-can-eat buffet and I’ll turn it down. I am faceless, but not in this crowd. A crowd, yes, but not this one. I’m the B-lister of the Bible.
