Corpus Christi
Ascending,
his body fell away,
retaining shades
too light to sway a scale
or cast a shadow,
with sacramental weight
that only the mind of living faith
could measure.
His resurrection-bodied Eucharist
empowered partakers
to give away
what can be measured and weighed,
the part laid down in sacrifice
for a friend,
with a mystic shape remaining
for eternal days
of a body fitting into Abba’s heart.
