Salvation
by
Geraldine Cook Davis
Sealed off from the souls of men
Sacred relics lay in reliquaries
Hip bone of Mary, spacious for birthing,
Weeps to dry the tears of infertility
The Chalice from The Last Supper
Hungers to quench thirst
Frail fingers of John the Baptist
Presses to rebirth dead souls
The net that Peter held
Gapes open to feed mouths below hollowed eyes
Splinters of Cross
Carries redemption
"Partake," each one wails
Fearful of oblivion
