The arms spread out, the blend of blood
and muscle: these spell love? Death hangs
in front of us, and staring, still
we do not comprehend. What seems
the ending, in the future will
become the answer to our curse
and a beginning to new life.
But now our eyes are blinded, ears
are closed, the mirror not just dim
but blackened. We can‚t understand.
Then, later, one large stone is moved
and linen seen; the empty tomb
the evidence that all he said
was true, the mystery revealed.
