easter ride

this is no sectarian
feast only the
miracle for all yes
everyone regardless
of time and history
everything and all
experience is remade
and shot through
with the heady
effervescence of a
meaning we do not
make our histories
are hijacked by a
subversive love in
which our direction
is always away
from my intent
so life is discovered
anew in a grave
full of gift and life
where flesh is ir
radiated with the
divinity of eternity
come clean what is
the cost every
thing and no
thing at the same
time impossible
yes thank god
we are all
history we are
also the future
in the one who
is risen
he doesn’t sell
tickets this is a
free ride
