A Good Friday Haiku

Complete perfection
Bloodied, wounded, and stumbling

Lurching towards death

Dislocated arms
Wrists and feet spread wide by nails
Gasping for each breath

Thirst, utter fatigue
Crowned, beaten, scorned, ridiculed
Sacrificial One

parched lips, rasping breath
“Why have You abandoned Me?”
Then “It is finished.”
