Betrayers all... welcome

Betrayers All… Welcome

this was His table
to which all were invited
at which all were welcome
all
welcome

jostling for place
shaped by the argument
strung out along the road since yesterday
continuing up the stairs until moments before
the greatest still unsettled

still…
all welcome
the bread broken
the wine poured
for all
     a place at the table
     His table

shocked shamed silence
echoed with the splash of water
the whisper of sandals loosened
the rustle as feet are dried
all feet
do as I have done…

One of you…

is it i

that all asked
suggests the possibility…
     the answer could be
          yes

protest aside
declarations aside
          yes

And…
     so it is
     betrayers all…
          welcome
