lenten journal: wandering

wandering

holy week is slipping by
(so are a lot of things)

and I wonder how it felt
that first time around

looking for donkeys
and then washing coats

setting up the upper room
holy errands, yes, but

still things to get done . . .
by the time they finally

sat down for dinner
I wonder how much time

they spent talking shop
before Jesus took the bread

and broke things wide open
—or perhaps it’s just what

I hope will happen to me
between now and Sunday

Peace,
Milton
