on His Resurrection

[I posted this poem back in November, but the words remain more poignant than ever on this Easter Sunday.  See also this wonderful post on the DG blog that reminded me of it.]

Descending Theology: The Resurrection


by Mary Karr



From the far star points of his pinned extremities,
cold inched in—black ice and squid ink—
till the hung flesh was empty.
Lonely in that void even for pain,
he missed his splintered feet,
the human stare buried in his face.
He ached for two hands made of meat
he could reach to the end of.
In the corpse’s core, the stone fist
of his heart began to bang
on the stiff chest’s door, and breath spilled
back into that battered shape. Now

it’s your limbs he comes to fill, as warm water
shatters at birth, rivering every way.
