Ordinarily I don’t publish so much poetry at Theoria-press, and instead try to provide mostly essays with an odd poem or sonnet occasionally interspersed among them.
Thank you brother M – This resonates with me today as I have been working with the image of Mary Magdalene as a Myrrhophores, & so the 10 Virgins also entered in the picture.
Every mythic image, speaks. The Icarus melting heart rings clear.
Ever struggling with the 2 polarities that pull me out of my Christic self, I also see, especially at this time of year, great value in the losing to find.
38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. John 19

Beautiful as always... yet this one sits like a double-edged sword through my heart
