Maundy Thursday

(Dedicated to Wade Meyer & Zachary Moon)

I cannot be a body
if you pretend like you don't have a body.
So for the life in us both,
please honor
our intentionally fashioned togetherness
by letting me kneel down
to touch and wash your flesh
which also happens to be mine
something i can only discover
if you allow me to kneel and touch and wash you

This is our birth
right before my death 

Just let me

That is my prayer tonight. Maundy Thursday 2010.
