After John 21:15-17
This man, this hothead,
first to jump into the sea,
first to volunteer, first
to pull a sword, first
to deny him openly, first
to feel the shame of denial,
denial times three.
Three denials turned
on their heads with
three questions, sounding
the same but slightly
different, three responses
to three answers
to three questions.
Feed my lambs.
Tend my sheep.
Feed my sheep.
