JUDAS, son OF GOD


I’m begging for silence
in this centre
where all hell has crept in.
Judas, my brother,
my lover,
my friend.

They fault us
for all humanity
yet we are not creators,
merely vessels
of destined calamity.

Let the crowd rage;
say what they will.
I have you
silent and still.

Let them praise the murderer,
the adulterer,
the vain house of David.
For you alone knew your heart,
and what history has made it.

Let them call on tall tales of Moses,
the bleeding heart of Paul.
In repetitive madness
we are fools one and all.
