KEEPING THE SABBATH


And then
O Lord
at last
that day was almost done

the Sabbath coming on
and you unfit to be seen
a corpse
unclean

you were hustled away out of sight
in a hole in a hill
hidden till
that dawn, that Sun Rise when

O Lord of the Sabbath
Lord of Light
they looked
and found you gone.
