round table in holy week

round table in a
coffee house corner ~
time passes surprisingly,
anticipatorially;
for around this week's corner,
routine will abandon
the rhythm of life
in favor of the holy

in these times, we step
out of time, and
time steps out of step with
our day-to-day, as the
divine interrupts,
predictably surprising
death
with the anticipation of
resurrection

yet past my round corner table
life goes on as if
we don't know that
in this week of sacred holiness
life and death
is not as it should be
