Jesus

To a true Christian

That body

flowing with blood

flowing with blood

shattered

demolished

springs to mind a question: “Am I guilty?”

I see that body flowing with blood

I see myself in that blood

and I brightly glimpse the moment

is nigh when this all must change

the wounds must close

then I shall love

That body

flowing with blood

flowing with blood.

Chairil Anwar
