Bread and wine

Holding the crumb in my hand
Warm
Soft
Living
Some for all, plenty left over
I taste
Soft
Savoury
Sweet

Holding the glass in my hand
Cold
Hard
Lifeless
Some for all, plenty left over
I taste
Shock
Cold
Tang

Christ born into and lived in our warm, soft, humanity
Christ died and risen in the tang of spilled blood and cold tomb

Soft, hard
Warm, cold
Sweet, sharp

Lived
Died
Risen

Amen
