Afterwards Valentine

Thomas stands for shock
Judas and Peter for denial
The first long stages of grief
 
John for the graceful youth
Mark holds hands with Paul
Luke doctors us all
 
Mary and Martha
Argue all day long
Until the Baptist cries ‘Enough’
 
Jesus comes and goes
He lives alone now by the lake
Still goes fishing every spring
 
Mary’s like a ghost
Of her former self
For whom the children sing
