What means it, Jesus raised? (Mark DeBolt)

                        

                                     What means it, Jesus raised?

                        The first big bang becomes the last amen.

                        The resurrection, can it be rephrased?

                                    Rephrase it then.

                                    The resurrection is

                        the reversal of the crucifixion,

                        which is, the Holy Torah says,  

                                    resurrection

                                    in reverse and retro-

                        temporal.  Around the cross the angels sang

                        the great amen, which, holy angels know,

                                    is the big bang.

--Mark DeBolt,
