Yep. We settled it. Worms burrow. As sure as Jesus harrows Hell today, He will rise tomorrow. This has been a Holy Week like no other.
On this
The Holy Saturday
Before Jesus is slated
To rise,
The backyard is filled with animals.
Ducks scout out
Good nest areas.
Robins stake out
Worm possibilities
With their feet.
Breakfast conversation
Considers the proper verb
For earthworm movement.
What is it
Robins cock their heads
To hear
Underground?
We settle on it:
Worms burrow.
On this
The Holy Saturday
Before Jesus is slated
To rise,
He is busy underground,
Busy somewhere,
They say.
He empties Hell,
They say,
Next to burrowing worms.
The robins listen from above.
We watch and listen from afar.
Jesus is slated to rise
Tomorrow.
