19. Breaking Bread

Detail of stained glass in All Saints Church, Houghton Regis.

 Breaking Bread;

the unbreakable

broken

for me.

For I am

crumbled

unhumble

unleavened

but somehow

heaven bound.

Spilled wine/blood

the unspillable

spilled

for me.

For I am

breakable, glass,

potential shards

to cut and wound

and bleed.

I am

not

‘I am’.

You are ‘I am’

and I,

in mingled blood of soul

and crumbed bread of life,

share Your

inheritance.
