To the true Christian.
That is the Body
streaming blood
streaming blood
crumpled
broken
question washes up: What is my sin?
i saw the Body streaming blood
i looked at my reflection in the blood
clearly visible in the eye of the times
this shape at once transforms
closing wound
i fill with joy
that is the Body
streaming blood
streaming blood
12/11-1943.
