Preparation day

Anglican Theological Review,  Summer 1998  by Kinsella, Sean

the dove which nests in the cleft

of a wound in which I've a part

is a whiteness gently resting

before a quiet, broken heart

below the cross is room to love

the time of dying a loss endured

behind a stone his body laid

the mercy of God thus immured

sorrow wrapped around his bones

his skin shines whiter than the shroud

in the newness of a borrowed tomb

the promise of love is a space allowed

the suffering of the wound of love

is a loneliness which I have made

within my weeping, contrite heart

there his pierced heart is laid
