Resurrection

Resurrection haunts me. Why make such
a big damn deal about one guy’s rebound?
One guy.

On Holy Fridays we stepped, hushed in enforced silence.
The only sound was the rubber soles of our saddle shoes
on the black and white tiles of church.
Sr. James Catherine led the parade that halted
fourteen times as we craned our neck to see the pictures.
