The Rooster Crows Twice
by
John W Frye
Holy fury like a javelin of lightning
thrown by the hand of God
strikes the good Shepherd
Hanging on blood-sticky planks
raised against blackened skies.
Men, like panicked sheep, scatter
like broken pieces of clay
as the Jar crashes
against the wall of death.
Cowards running for cover, seeking the shadows
away from the Light of the world,
shout out even as they hide,
“We will follow You even to the death.”
Courage, thin as egg shells,
easily breaks at a young girl’s questions,
and erupts in cursing the One
who told it all before…
Eyes, those holy and those hellish, meet;
separated souls touch;
the deep anguish of grace cries
as the rooster crows twice.
