Poem – Corpus Christi (By Milenko Zupanovic)

CORPUS CHRISTI

Author: Milenko Zupanovic

 

Ostensorium

in a procession

of almost

the entire city,

it leads to

the statue

of the saint

on the hill,

relics returned

to the church

a stranger,

only in a white

slept next to

the statue

of the saint

thorns stuck

into his hand,

blood trickled

down by snow

boards of the city,

he cried

and so fell asleep

everybody was crying,

strangers were buried

next to the statue

crying that echoed

the empty church.

Jesus the Savior.
