Cruci-Christi

Don't tell the truth             

that he really                     

died on an 'x'

was he the one

or some someone

Hung up in view

before our eyes

Etched above him

we could see it

the length and means

of his short life

There and propped up

like the photo

on my night stand

of a long dead 

relationship

that crucifies

some part of me

King of something

just like I am

ace of all things

Ignorant fools

the Pharisees

have labeled us

Because we feel

and for our hope

Collectively

everyone's selves

Nailed to our posts

for impudence

We lamedvavniks

hidden righteous

unwittingly

waiting for time

to unveil us
