and is it possible
even on Easter
even on the day
when all things began
being made new
is it possible that
even on this day of days
i could with one breath
bless God and with
the next curse humanity?
o, my God, what is it
in me that responds
this way? what pride
is it that makes me
play queen, play king
play god?
how quickly do i forget
my death — and the power
of Your resurrection
(yet You raise me once more
from the dust —
and is even this possible?)
