Christ is the bread.
Form fixed before
Creation: time and space.
Christ is the bread.
A big bang breaks:
Gas, mole, and matter.
Christ is the bread.
Nuts shed smooth shells
Till rooted: tall trees.
Christ is the bread.
Souls in the womb:
Nine months to nourish.
Christ is the bread.
Words: willed to write,
To sing, to recite.
Christ is the bread.
Form: fixed before
Ink marks the parchment.
Christ is the bread.
Hands consecrate.
In sin: complicit.
Christ is the bread.
