see what?

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

went to see the tomb.

                                                                                           Matthew 28:1

see what?                                                                                                   Erling Shultz, April 2020

(one tends to see

          what one thinks possible,

     one resists to see

          what one thinks not)

Mary’s two tomb travel to see;

     I ponder, see what?

          what is the expectation,

          and what is not?

the duet has already seen

     much that mystifies the rational mind:

          healings,

          raisings,

          feedings,

          changings;

     do they think it’s possible, a

          rising? 

(one in white affirms their quest,

     but a Jesus laying or standing

     remains quest unspecified)

or could it be they come to see

     not with an eye,

           but with the mind?

the pair may come to the tomb site

     to grapple and contemplate:

          understanding,

          comprehending,

          instructing,

          meaning;

     do they think it’s possible, a

          purposing?

but could it be they come to see

     as simply to encounter,

          in any way and any form?

the couple comes to meet whatever may be

     in physical and/or spiritual sense:

          hearing,

          remembering,

          touching,

          sending;

     do they think it’s possible, a

          calling?
