Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Take this cup from my mouth
step back from the journey, the road
the revelation of his fate
Like Socrates and his hemlock
brought to his own lips
a cup of crimson
a blood sacrifice
the Passover Lamb
blood shed
for me, for you
A parable in wine
a cup of crimson
shared at his supper
the table of remembrance
repeated and believed
an act of ritual and faith
in the communion
