JESUS IN CONTEXT
In another setting,
the density of your innocence,
inevitable and clean,
could be gauged.
Its gravity could be appreciated,
its rhythm sung,
its dignity observed.
The warmth of its eloquence
could heat the tongues of the still disciples.
In this setting,
it is ignorance and imperception.
It is ridiculed in malicious whispers by
these sophisticates and
ignored in boredom.
Your gentle oblivion invites assault
and in this setting you are our sweet enemy.
- Frances LeMoine
