Arrest in the Garden
Driving to Tucson
Family
eating poison
Birth
Winter Cliffs
Rooster Waking
Black Mold
After Jessica's "Winter Sun"
On Joyce Crissman's "On the Steps of St. Paul"

Arrest in the Garden


Arrest in the Garden

he says he is the one
take him
he is the one we have
come to take
orders given
we obey
taking the healing man
away

Who will let them see
Who will let them walk

he is the only one left
to let them
just this man
and when he says
"I am he"
we fall
to our knees
try to bury
our swords
