"the last supper just after judas left"

.....jesús is looking directly with a mix of concern and yes, anger, at judas, at his dissappearing out the house, hooded monk to his left, or a woman with a scarf, maybe not mary magdeline, just a friend, holding the cup, she's looking too, at the same disappearing shadow, while the three souls to their left are huddled as if in suspicion yet not wanting to believe it, like, "can you believe that? judas just split!" "wow, i don't trust him" "Me neither" etc., whilst at the far left end of their table, a sol·emn couple slouch and pray, and another at the corner kneels and speaks it out loud, "heaven help us now!" oh yeah and to jesús' right, like wow, his friend is saying, like, "what the hell was that all about? he left so suddenly, with a kiss!" and the three down at their end of the table look after judas as well, with mixed looks of chagrin and contempt and the guy sitting on the floor with the wine flask says to the friend on jesús' right, "i smell silver coins".....jesús hurt at this moment, realised his impending betrayal. but he had told them he had wanted to speak to the head priest. judas' alibi to snitch on their teacher, outlaw preacher that he were?

It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it.

"A man, the microcosmic fool, down in his soul
Is wont to think himself a whole,
But I'm part of the Part which at the first was all,
Part of the Darkness that gave birth to Light,
The haughty Light that now with Mother Night
Disputes her ancient rank and space withal,
And yet 'twill not succeed, since, strive as strive it may,
Fettered to bodies will Light stay."
Mephistopheles-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "Faust"


If you ever get a chance to read Vonnegut's Mother Night I recommend it highly. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0385334 ... eader-link

"Father forgive us for what we must do, you forgive us and we'll forgive you, we'll forgive each other til we both turn blue.

Is that a new drawing?

Traitors, it was a squirmy feeling to be a Jew boy the summer the Rosenbergs were executed.

traiitor caught in the act
running away from his own
nation's bombing campaign
unwilling to be a ham for that

running away but running toward
mother night, mother earth, and
humble pie, all for telling the Lie
for what it was, a break from the Lie.

Yes deep spirits move thru the underground streams
from power place tp power place, energy currents
play on us if we tune in again, not fool enuf tho
to think onself whole oh no,

vast empty spaces hover'd in the wind.
