my thoughts on the consecration of the body and blood of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharistic


i have you all over me

seeking self fulfilment
i pierced your side
my sins the spear

don't want your blood to flow
to the ground
i drink it all

i hammered your feet
to the wood my sins
the nail

don't want the blood to drop
on the ground
i place a pan under your feet
collect the blood

now i bear the pan
on my head well balanced
won't let it spill

nailed your hands
to unyielding tree shorn of leaves
my sins the blow

don't want the blood
on the ground
i spread my palms
to meet yours
and collect the blood

and now
i have you all over me
in and out and in again
