The Cup

3/26/2013

A Poem about the Maundy Thursday Meal

by

Rev. David H. Rommereim 

The Cup

The cup

Endows rhythm

To flesh

And bones

Its fingers

Tickle the body,

While lips

Swish its wine

Then a glance,

And a skirmish

Adhere

Eye to ear

For the sound

Of soul

Singing a melody

Of Silence

So that mystery

And mystique

Of dreams

Deferred

Are launched

With the lure

Of bread

Gone wild

In the desert

Where scarcity

Prepares the

Banquet.
