Crucifixion Scene



I’m struck by the basketry of bones containing the thorax;
that unexpected view of internal anatomy,
a map of pain.

I think of Frida Kahlo, the broken ionic column that supported her,
the deer struck with so many arrows,
all contained within her defiance.

And then I see that the bones are not containment,
they are radiant;
they radiate strength.
