J. Janda


Put your finger here
and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.
(Jn 20:27)

Assumption (The Unicorn)

Under the
lemon tree

children
and
virgins

waking to
find
his head

in their lap
are
never astonished

but laugh
and
let him go

J. Janda
