Sunday Afternoon Regret, Sad You See

(after TomBank's poem, "Sunday Regret")

 

The same day came . . . Sadducees,

which say that there is no resurrection.

---Matthew 22:23

 

All my senses seem to fail

as if an impending gloom

is rolling nearer to assail

me---staring at that empty tomb.

People whisper "Resurrection,"

and I feel a disconnection:

a misery, not mirth.

Does cancelled death, perhaps, cancel my birth?
