#on jesus

[capbrie]

judas tree - e.m.

jesus

of nazareth.

you, who raises the dead,

who saves the damned,

who turns water to wine.

judas

iscariot.

i, who kissed,

who betrayed,

who hung.

down there,

they say your name in prayer,

they let the wafer of your body and the wine of your

blood

linger on their tongues.

down there,

they say my name as an adjective,

an accusation; traitor.

‘judas!’ they exclaim, pointing fingers that

cut.

still, my lips linger on your cheek.

you bear your cross, i don my rope.

i begged them,

“take the silver back!

he’s a good man!”

they took the silver,

my good man,

and they melted that silver into nails.

they peel your arms away from your broken heart,

i loop the rope over the branch.

they grab their tools,

i step onto the bucket.

they place nail to palm,

i pull the rope over my neck.

they swing their hammers and-

i step off the bucket and-

one of us comes back.

my good man comes back.

my good man, who turns water to wine,

who saves the damned,

who raises the dead,

he does not bring me back with him.

-

jesus,

did not you tell me,

“do what you came for”

that night?

jesus,

could not you have told me

anything else?

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

My blog has become infested with angst goblins, and they must be fed with some hypothetical scenarios!🙏💚

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

this the only platform i have to post this joke

[mo-mode]

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”

Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

im not particularly religious but i think it’s very cute that Trans Day of Visibility and Easter are on the same day this year :)

its no question that something like this could be triggering or upsetting to a number of queer ppl given the current sociopolitical climate, so i want everyone to remember that u are loved! Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!

happy and peaceful TDOV everyone!! And Easter to those who celebrate :D

Do it Again

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
