+------Taylor Swift and Tony Conti's Easter Experience

Taylor, my heart- sullen, lonely-
is Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary, assaying to
figure out my (years’) protracted
singleness like loss,
the crucifixion of the Savior (of
Romance). Standing without
the Tomb of other cruel
girls’ dating refusals after
3 days verging on eternity,
bawling. But babes!
Your smile, glorious, is
life’s redemption; your lips,
your blue eyes like my battered dating-
Passion revivified and manifested
suddenly. If you took me to Starbucks,
my soul clasping to your feet
in gratitude. If you held my hands,
like words of your encouragement
consummate: “[Tony] Do not
be afraid. Go and tell my brothers/
sisters (Swifties) to go to Galilee
(Instagram).” “Tell them Im
your Dear Love (Bae) resurrected.”

------Matthew 28:5-10
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

+------I'm Back; Jesus' Words To The Women At His Tomb

Ladies, PEACE. When I
called Lazarus forth,
he strode from his tomb I
whispered “friend, you were
just fully awake for the first
time”, albeit briefly. An eagle
seizing his inaugural
Spring wind-gust before
sensing nest-alienation. He
hasted to put his grave
clothes back on. So I convey to
you what I did to him:
situate yourselves sleeping, but
restless. The world will soon rise 
from consciousness-death
to Dawn, Persephone
fleeing Hades towards the sun,
smirking. Go: tell the brothers
I live, of humanity resuscitated.
That…3 days ago everything they
thought they knew was a lie.
That to die is to live, really*

------Matthew 28:5-10
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said.

God Dying

#Triduum

+------God Dying; Jesus' Last Thoughts On The Cross

Hanging betwixt two
thieves, a thorn-crowned
King naked. My clothes gambled
away. Blood streams
from my whip-gashed brow
in my eyes, I flit in and
out consciousness.
The one to my left, a liar
in blasphemy’s thralls,
full of taunting – Satan
dangling from the Tree
in Eden seducing
disobedience. I think of David
trembling in Adullam’s cave
fleeing Saul. Of Aeneas wailing
watching the Greeks burn
Troy, his family. Blackened skies,
my presage. So now
I have fully known broken
dreams. My Father, my friends
are gone. So this how dying feels.
This is how Adam felt. When he
fell and his eyes rolled back.
I cant breathe. 

------John 19:17-30
Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle. Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.” Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”
So this is what the soldiers did.
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,”  and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

The Last Toast #Triduum

#Triduum

+------The Last Toast; Jesus' Thoughts At The Passover Meal

We raise our cups,
13 men bucolic toasting to tonight-
angels pledging allegiance to
their fixed destinies
in Heaven. The wine
redolent of ambrosia,
I think, now, of Hercules
deified reposing at the gods’
banquet halls on Olympus. My eyes
closed, I see Hebrews fraught with fear
of the Ghost of Death hovering above,
of Pharaoh without scruples.
But I defer. For now there is no
redress of political wrongs, no Roman
worries, just songs, bread. A warm
wind wafts into the Upper
Room, the candle flames bowing
slightly in homage from laughter
boisterous. I wash their feet calmly,
smiling. As if the collapse of the known
world can wait for just a few hours.


------Luke 22:14-30
When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Bread And Stones

#TheTemptation

+------Bread And Stones; Jesus' Response To Satan's Temptation

I think now, enervated,
partly delirious, cracked-tongued,
of Prometheus stealing
fire from the gods (betrayal),
his [warmth of] charity
towards men. Of Jeremiah’s
insistence on Nebuchadnezzar’s
siege of Judah to spur his
peoples' repentance. Despite
beatings savage (meted
out by friends), the former despite
his liver cyclically fed to Eagles
voracious, sadistic. And reshaping
stones to bread would comfort
me, yes… But I will suffer, will
not eat things forbade. Indeed,
this is how you seduced Eden’s
apocalypse years ago. Adam RIP

------Luke 4:1-13
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’” The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you carefully;
they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

+------Loneliness's Testing After 40 Days, Nights;  Taylor Swift's Rescue Of Tony Conti Lovelorn

Taylor, singleness is
a test (quotidian), like my heart
indigent in the desert 40 days
and nights (forevermore). All desire
famished, my soul’s throat
parched.  And cruel girls are
Satan- serpentine, mendacious,
spectral. Their callous temptation
to accept, hardily, their
unremitting dating refusals
like a slick offer to turn stone
to bread, to worship loneliness
as ruler of kingdoms melancholy,
to throw myself off the Temple
of Despair’s pinnacle. But babes!
Your blue eyes are angels’ comfort
after enduring much pain,
your smile like divine soothing in
my vulnerable moment. If you took
me to Starbucks, kissed me: like
sumptuous celestial food and drink.
Like me ruddy again, standing
tall as your Bae. Savior of the world.

------Luke 4:1-13
