So now
you are seen
hoist and ragged and
given
martyred to the people
You are seen
We know you
exposed – filaments, form
tendons, tied – more
your shame
excites the crowd
dogs (snap and foam)
Jezebel - who praised Ba’al
become Whore to Beelzebub
victors’ ancient slurs
quicken pulses still we
see
you
.
in silence and in secret
you are known, loved
and forgiven
draw the blinds and let lie
