Supping as Proclamation II

We think of Communion,
That divisive sacrament,
As something

Ceremonious
(But also
Could it be
Sustenance?)

Commemorative, of the past
(But also
Could it be
Eschatological,
Looking at our present betrothal
And future wedding?)

Sacred, set apart
(But also
Could it be
Poured out for all,
Available?)

Traditional
(But also
Could it be
Counter-cultural, revolutionary,
The rich and the poor,
The Jew and the Greek
Feast
Together?)
