The Resurrection


I could write about the fire at Notre Dame yesterday
while the images of that terrible blaze are freshly
seared into my memory.

I could write about the drunken days which consumed
me in the fires of my own hell. By good graces or fate
I am here to relate my own resurrection.

I could write about Ramon, Devin, Jimmy and so many
others I have known who were not as fortunate as I to
have survived.

For the many who celebrate Holy Week and Passover,
new life is a theme pervasive in our humanity. Each day
and over time, the old and mortal die. In memory of they

who remain, from ashes the Spirit Everlasting shall rise.
