Week’s First Day
This virgin chamber
like rock-hollowed stable
is a briefly borrowed room.
The table chiseled
to lay linen-wrapped dead
today becomes a birthing bed.
Earth travails. A shudder
breaks sealed silence
of womb-dark tomb.
Like lightning, attending angels
split death’s gloom to witness
this resurrection morn—
the cavern’s mouth is opened.
The triumphant King is born!
