Seán Walsh: Doubt

DOUBT

What! I get back to Jerusalem to find ye –

changed…

different almost…

quiet… dazed…

well nigh in shock…

Jesus… What about him?.. What?!

Back… back from the dead?.. Huh!

Look, I’ll tell ye! The day he comes

through those locked doors…

stands here among us… undoes his tunic…

shows us the marks of the nails

in his hands and feet and –

Thomas!

What?

Behind you…

    Dear Editors of parish newsletters,
    In your wisdom – and flair! – find a nook or cranny
    for my wee piece… next issue or at Easter?..
