“It is finished.”
Hurry, Jesus. Hurry to the appointment
you have made to duel death. Hasten
the darkening sky, that a false dawn may break
early; that you may fell the great destroyer.
The soldiers come with mallets and spear,
we hear them marching, breath
charging up the hill. Hurry, Jesus.
Finish it.
