ibuzoo:

i.
His name is a prayer.
Don’t say it carelessly.
Run your tongue around the letters.
Dig your teeth in the vowels.
Put it under your tongue.
Swallow it.
Keep it.

ii.
Pray for him while you wash his feet.
Keep his wrists tight in your hands.
Bite in his veins.
Listen to his prayers and repeat them.

iii.
If he asks you to burn, do it.

iv.
Kiss him on the corner of his lips.
Taste the sweat of salvation in the wrinkles of his skin.
Dried wine and old blood.
Divinity.

v.
When they hang him on the cross, don’t look back.
Don’t weep.
Don’t pray.
Bite your lips and count the silver coins in your hand.
