When we saw human dignity
healing humans in the middle of the day
we moved in on him slowly
under the incalculable gravity
of old freedom, of our own freedom,
under atmospheres of consequence, of justice
under which no one needs to thank anyone.
If this was God, we would get even.
And in the end we nailed him,
lashed, spittled, stretched him limb from limb….
