After The Last Supper Poem by Frank Avon

After The Last Supper



We call it communion.
I'm not sure why.

The Church Fathers
gave us flesh and blood,
live flesh, real blood.

'This is my body, '
they said.
'This is my blood.'

We call it Communion,
live and die.

'One knows
There is no end to the other world,
no matter where it is.'
