Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

What must he have felt, sharing in the meal
the invocation, the intoning of the words
these words of the teacher, the master, Rabbi
changing the ancient words of remembrance
saying something entirely new, a new covenant
the morsel of bread dipped, shared from his hands
his words to go, to do that which is planned quickly
what must he have thought, in that moment
the doubt, the confusion, steps set in motion
unable to return, to pull back
the wheels of time turning
his body, his blood
his sacrifice,
dripping on his hands
