it had warranted death
the silenced words
cut like the end
of isaac's ram
it was all over bar
the shouting
and ram's sure can shout
isaac had seen the knife
knew the god swindle
and until the saving
had never contemplated
anything but dying
there upon an altar
god's lamb slain
he had gloried in it
had wept for himself
and his own regard
but when the bleating started
bloody bleating ram
he had swung around
and with eyes that wept
for lost death's and martyrdom
had surrendered to this life
as if it were the second death
of lazarus
