Iscariot


There is one among you,

one who places a price

on the will of God.

He has listened

to the voices of demons.

He has opened the palm of his hands

for coin,

and the emptiness of betrayal.


He will dine with the one,

the teacher

who he will kiss in greeting.

He will set himself at the table,

to share the Passover meal,

then slip into collusion

with those

who were greatly pleased

by his sin.
