The Dryad of Gethsemane Speaks to Mary Magdalene on the Evening of Holy Saturday
02-24-2020
A poem.
Illustration by Ric Carrasquillo
I can tell from the way
they are staring at shadows on the ground
that the voice-bearers have come
from that place where
trees are not life-giving.
Two nights ago, One was here with them
Whose longing, love, and pain woke my soul,
deep-buried,
which sleeps through winter,
moth-like.
He is not here with them now.
