what man?

[dukealien]

what man?

who made the crown of thorns
implement of torture
mutilation, ridicule
blinding, denial?
were his hands so hard
or did he wear blacksmiths’ gloves
cut vinewood with shears
or with a sword?
did he, too, bleed?

[rowens]

The only thing I will say about this poem is that it does have briary and nettleness about it. In the winding of the poem and the tone.
