day THIRTY SIX


SUNDAY'S DARKNESS

The tiny boy waits
on wooden rail,
knees shift
painfully
one to the other.

Trembling hands
grasping
dangling beads
of plastic and glass,
reach out
to the one
who 
forgives.

In twisted agony,
affixed by spikes,
arching against the wood,
the bloody symbol
dies again.
