A Bosom's Solace

#MaundyThursday

+--------"A Bosom's Solace; John's Thoughts While Reclining  On Jesus' Bosom"

Your chest is so warm right
now, its all I want to know…the
wine, the bread, lamb, herbs,
my brothers’ choral singing.
We recline like sheep finally at ease,
content to stargaze with the Shepherd,
eat grass and nothing more.
But staring at the table lamps, flames
flickering beneath our breath,
my eyes wont dilate for the double vision –
the life I now know and the foreboding one
you say is to come, without you.
I think why don’t you make a deal with death
like Moses did, a hyssop barterer
with the Angel who raises fate’s sword?
But then my ears perk when you offer
us your blood cupped to drink…. Nevermind,
I don’t want to know. Please let me lay here
a little while longer, maybe forever.    

---------------John 13:19-25
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

---Somewhere Only We Know Lyrics

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Tony Conti and Taylor Swift's Treacherous Love #TaylorDateTony

+-------"Tony Conti and Taylor Swift's Treacherous Love"

Oh my god Taylor, these
other girls with their “noble”
intentions for me, 33 years old,
about 6 feet tall and bearded! Saving
me by rejecting me they fancy, a very
public miracle of multiplicity of mercy
bread and mercy fish, stalling
my desires for another time another girl,
so that I wont be famished. But this
Savior of presumption I hate. I will put
on airs, I will share their feigned smiling
sop at their “sacred” table of formality.
But in my heart I know I will forsake them
for you, my heart 30 silver pieces
in a sheep hide bag in your hands in
exchange for those blue eyes and
blond hair, singing Pharisee of all my
secret schemes. I want their joy crucified
by jealousy. Our gazing, drinking coffee,
falling in love, will be a betrayer's kiss,
torch-lit, on their cheek. And it was night.

-----John 13:14-30
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

+-------"The Chronicles Of A Rabbi Baptized; The Thoughts Of Crispus After He and Gaius
Were Baptized By Paul"

It can happen, one day you
stand in the synagogue as a luminary,
angel arms raised with the glory
of a clutched a horn ready to blow more
pestilence onto Egypt, a Mosaic
scholar on the verge of veiling his face
for all the accrued societal honor, Mount
Sinai as your home, your neighbors
waiting at the base in reverence, lost
sheep shedding wool without you- then
you wake up the next day and hate it.
You throw down the stone tablet mores
you used to love because no one around
you "gets it." One day you and Gaius
seek carp in the market, the next he
meets someone telling you to fish for
men rather. Maybe it’s something in the
water…plunging in as two respected
Jewish men, arising drenched and
delirious-You become heralds of a Way
of life you never could have dreamed of.


-----1 Corinthians 1:11-16
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

+--------"Seeds Of Wrath; Melchizedek's Words Of Blessing To Abram After He Rescued Lot
In Battle"

You are, right now, precisely what
the world needs: impulse,vindictive
anger, a man who whispers to his
sheathed sword at night
promising the hilt “soon and
very soon.” Someone whom when
sunrise in its divine radiance
prophesies of scorching desert
sands mixed with his
own blood in battle, he smiles.  A
Hebrew willing, in an instant, to slay,
to lay down his life for kith
and kin, residual wrath of Yahweh
in Eden for Paradise lost
to slithering. Yes Abram, you are
most worthy. I give you Salem’s
blessing to seed Salvation: loins to
birth the Crucified Christ...a Son one
day sharing your rage to Redeem

-----------------Genesis 14:13-20; Hebrews 7:1-3
A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshkol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people. After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
    Creator of heaven and earth.
And praise be to God Most High,
    who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything; This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever

The Night Before A Murder; Abraham's Thoughts On Killing His Son At Sunrise

+-------"The Night Before A Murder; Abraham's Thoughts On Killing  His Son At Sunrise" 

A wood bundle laid on my bosom,
a knife in one hand, flint in the
other, I watch Isaac sleep, a
torch stave propping up my head to
peer down onto his face across
the campfire. I wonder if he dreams
at all, if he dreams of blood like me-
angst of losing the promise
of God by murder, screams of a
burning son, his favored mule braying
then stumbling down the mountain,
jolt me wide awake in cold sweats.
And tomorrow, do I walk away from it
all...as gods of mythology walk away
from annihilating the wicked…callous,
unfeeling, with a sly smirk of self
righteous pride? Maybe. Or maybe
Im never the same.      (God help me)


-----Genesis 22:1-14
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

+-------I Am Isaac Bound and In Love (With Taylor Swift); A Story Of Sacrifice. JehovahJireh

Taylor how dare these girls
who hurt/refuse to ever love me!
They are a Bearded Patriarch on
the haughtiest mountain in Moriah, of
some sanctimonious divine race! On
their lips cavalier assumptions of
grandeur, a land of big, cocky hunks
“numerous as the sand” promised
as privileged inheritance for being
cruel to lesser guys. They lay
upon the sad and lonely shoulders of
my dating prospects wood of despair,
like a defector father with a knife
who wants nothing save to stab and
burn, stab and burn. Hands clenching
torches of sadism, the wax almost
melting fingers of their intent. I can see
the crazed look of victory in their eyes.
Oh bae save me! Unbind me from this
altar of singleness, curse this rope
of despair- your blue eyes a ram, your
lips a thicket snaring it by the horns.
If you take me to coffee, our kiss would
be a propitiatory sacrifice of  lovers...
releasing me to live freely in your arms,
thankful for the light of one more day.

The Deuteronomic Law According To Bernie

* Jesus pray for me
* Dedicated to Bernie Sanders


+-------The Deuteronomic Law According To Bernie

America! Bernie
Sanders is the Moses we need
for a time such as this, wooden
staff of the political serpent
in hand to display cunning,
blessed carpentry of the shrewd to
prove his Good Will towards men.
He will use constitutional expedients
to liberate all peoples from economic
slavery- hands raised, eyes closed,
he’ll part Wall Street’s Red Sea of
biased taxation that unduly burdens
the working class, with manifold plagues
of a Righteous Fed, he’ll repeal Pharaonic
healthcare/social security inequities voted
into law. Hid in a basket of objectivity
since birth, he was providentially cast
down the secret, sacred stream of the
Nile every President has journeyed. So
what does he ask of us? Simply,
to remember the stranger, the fatherless,
the widow (and Levite) within our gates –
to spread the USA's wealth evenly, fairly,
so all may fully live... The dignity of God's Chosen.


-----Deuteronomy 14:27-29
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
