It was the following day that sealed it for him
waking with the rooster an hour before dawn
the darkness of the room
unfamiliar
tangled in bedsheets he shivered still
straining his hope to conjure up that sun
light and heat that struck through rock
and wrappings yesterday
remembering that voice praying
softly now among the lilies
Year A Lent 5
