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
