Loved that. It reminded me obscurely of James Thurber.

Search for ‘The bear who let it alone’ it’s a very short story, a fable really, and I think you’ll like it.

Sad but realistic and beautiful poem. Love these double rhymes because they do not sound artificial. Content is more important:
“a nazarene broke bread, bled wine in his place
weighed with the dead, and waived time and space”

Thank you, Marta. I’m particularly proud of that rhyming structure because it was hard won. I had to work very hard to ensure it sounded natural. I’m so glad you picked up on this. 🙂
