In The Wine

I offered up my truest and best love

for you

 

Leaving wishes on the altar    

for everyone else

 

A first and last supper combined  

into one

 

Judas getting fat from a promise  

denied

 

Starved within the memory of a feast  

uneaten

 

My bread forever disappearing      

in the wine
