Mark 15
This story has been mined,
this quarry chipped at from every angle.
The cry to crucify has been
recrystalized through the generations,
and under the pressure of important eyes
turned generic, not jagged.
Not cutting as it was, jarring,
it's very meaning was defeat.
How sentiments compress and
compositions change in structure,
so that crucify and victory are
now entwined and the suffering
has been purified from the process.
A rolled rock, portentous and imposing,
established as immovable warning,
now is simply the pretense of hope.
Lest we forget the truth of despair,
the chapter ends in stone.
