POEM: Tell How it Happened

Christine Kelly —

John 20:10-18

Tell how it happened.
You
who so
surely had business
with the dead.
Tell how it happened
and be
unembellished in your telling.
For like you
our grief is blinding
and loss of hope
weighs heavily.
Tell how it happened
so we
like you
learn to hear our names - 
the voice of the beloved familiar
in the least familiar place
and can
share our story
with joy.
