Crucifixion Pose by Kevin M. Hibshman

Metaphorically speaking,
You do seem suspended but I believe by
your own will.

We have each visited unique Golgothas.
Spent those forty days and forty nights facing it down.
Sweating it out to whatever end.

You have indeed felt vertebrae twist.

We all stand alone, betrayed upon our hill having
carried a cross.
You do a lovely crucifixion pose although I do note
a lack of blood.



Kevin M. Hibshman has had poems, reviews and collages published in numerous publications world wide. Most recently, his work has been published by Rye Whiskey Review, Drinkers Only, The Crossroads and 1870.
