"the veil of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom"
Mark 15:38
the very bowels of the earth quake
with Jesus' death
first a low rumbling
and then a heaving
as the ground ruptures
the priests in the temple
ready to burn incense
suddenly a roar
and the huge magnificent heavy curtain
guarding the holy of holies
rips
from top to bottom
revealing the Ark of the Covenant
the earth continues its convulsions
opening tombs
releasing bodies
and the blood of Jesus is sprinkled
on the altar of history
Jesus led the way
and forever the veil between us is torn
I run through his broken body and spilled blood
into the holy of holies
