southern cross

we are all entitled to the southern cross to the constellation crux to the cruciform dream to the crucificition we are all entitled to wear the ruby studded crown and the fleece lined jacket we are all entitled to the lovely pale red star gamma crucis at the summet of the cross

the profoundest reward bleeds from the deepest suffering

I remember her pale blue eyes  seeing through her own kind of death and her look of gratitude for my being there  and the lovely pale red star spinning in the blue skies of her eyes

I am a christian and this is my prayer for good friday
