BLOOD VESSELS
'In Principio erat Verbum'
Chalice, Cup
Grail Goblet
Waiting Wine Glass---
Blood Vessels.
Plate,Patin
Wafer, Morsel
Beckoning Bread Basket--
Table Service.
Mere morsels
Or Bare Body?
Uncommon Cup
Or Challenging Chalice?
From Sacrifice
To Sacrament
From Sign to Symbol
From Servant to Service
Grace Comes a Calling
Blood Shed
Blood Transfusion
His Extinction
Our Distinction
By Intinction.
'You are what you Eat'

Dr. Ben, I love this poem! I love the way it looks at the Lord's Supper from so many different angles in so few words. (Even though I had to look up at least two of the words in a dictionary!)And I love the wordplays and alliteration.
Thanks so much.... I am glad you enjoyed it.
