awful, awe-full Friday

What an awful, awe-full Friday.

Awful
an innocent man
a muddied, mottled, muddled trial
murdered.

Awe-full
nonsense:
a God who lets himself die
publicly
unjustly
freely
for me.

Awful
the dark dire depths
of breathed-dirt.

Awe-full
a God who brings and sings
True Light
True Breath
by walking willingly
into this dark earth
amid the breath and dirt.

Awful
thorns piercing skull
wine piercing parched lips
sword piercing side.

Awe-full
Heaven’s heart
pierced
with grief
with compassion
with love.

Awful
so much blood
too much blood.

Awe-full
that LifeBlood bled
all sin collect
my bloody life kept.
