arrival
at his departure destination
humble
he rides
monarch of the margins
victor for the vanquished
Jerusalem
here I am
as cloaks cascade
and branches baste
earth’s bare crust
the city shakes
and even heaven trembles,
quakes
and here begins
the ending of the story
when shouts of ‘save us’
abdicate
to cries of ‘save yourself’
as thorns adorn the crown
not gilded glory
how blessed
is
the one who comes
