Lazarus: Monday of Holy Week

John 12:1–11



what he did in me
made them look at me
differently

what she did that day
made them look away
from my once-dead face

then what he said
made them look again
to his near death


and the crowds that came
brought my name
deadly fame

what he did in me
changed their view, so we
became unclean


sacrifice
will it suffice
or give even more than feared new life?
