Lenten Haiku

to lend God
forty of the year's best days -
a glorious spring

created of soil
destined for earth
ashes to ashes

relevance, spectacle, popularity,
temptations of every heart's
wilderness

the days lengthen
sunlight and warmth -
time to wrestle with darkness

a final meal
among best friends -
betrayal on a full stomach

sunrise
a cock crows three times
sunset

a garden tomb
sealed against light -
the light within shatters the seal
