Stained Glass
The quality of light: this,
a piece of late evening sky.
How darkness can shine:
last of the sun, first breath
of the stars, a waxing moon.
Judas walks out of the small room.
They are still dining. No one knows
but Jesus and his head is turned away.
They can’t escape, these protagonists,
caught between ruby and green,
the dark blue light,
the black bars of lead.
