after the holy week, now, on the 8th word

the reenactment is over
the tears of the rivers all evaporating
as bouquets of air
offerings to the sad sky

in our clothes seeping are the promises
of the underwear
we say we have learned a lot
in the silent journey inside us
we grasp for a new breath
it is purer and cleaner and refreshing
we were dead and so we rise up again
new sons and daughters
from our hair the white petals grow

from the gray clouds a sun reborn smiles
we are now ready for the 8th word
unspoken but we know what it is

still and ever shall be: love.
