After Luke 24:36-43
They’re talking about
these events, this man,
wondering if this could be
true: that he was alive.
Bam! Shazam! Pow!
He’s there, among them,
and says, prosaically,
peace be with you.
Peace? Are you kidding?
Shock, fear, turmoil, yes;
like seeing a specter,
a ghost, yes. But peace?
They know he died;
they know he died
because they saw it,
witnessed it, saw
the last gasps, felt
the earthquake, saw
the sky split open.
But they touch him,
and he’s real.
