day 212

“The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, ‘Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, “After three days I will rise again.”’” Matthew 27:62-63

there, in the dim

light of the tomb,

death sits before

the mirror, slowly wiping

off the fake tan,

slipping off the set

of falsely perfect teeth,

hanging up the

rented tux in the closet,

and heads out the

door,

its role as the

Great Impostor

of Fear

come to the end

of its run
