“While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread,
and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘Take; this is my
body.’” Mark 14:22
with a dustpan and broom
you sweep up the crumbs
of our hopes and dreams
scattered under the table,
to shape them into that
life
which you will break
and offer back to us, all
the while knowing that
we will shatter your heart
and leave it lying
in pieces in a deserted
garden
