The Gospel for Holy Tuesday

Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. John 12:20-36

Poem 1:

E-go
echo-ing
through the caverns
of self only
re-sona (ting)
an emptiness
dis-stressed by
the inability to see
the ground
where one
must die
in order to stop
the vibrating
that prevents one
from receiving the
other.

Poem 2:

attraction
gives birth to desire
drawing one
to the other;
isolation dies.
