Thankful on Thursday

Thank you Jesus for your death,
the oozing blood & sacred breath.
For your nerves and your skin
bearing the bones & briars of sin.
For the salt and saliva you shed in shame;
your naked exposure & fallen fame;
the mocking murderers cheering your pain.
The breaking of the dance divine,
the dirge of duty & delight
dove into death
to save the wicked
and that was it.

Rising for the rebellious,
we regard your righteous worth,
a wreath upon the head which
was ashen and of dirt.
