Blood & Water Flowed (Poem)

Blood and water flowed mingled 
     from his side

Labored breathing, painful writhing
     his sacrifice

The Son delivered
     
up to the Father

Eat his flesh, drink his blood
     
and live

Blood and water flowed mingled down
     
from my womb

Labored breathing, painful writhing
     
my sacrifice

My son delivered
     
into my arms

Eat my flesh, drink my milk
     
and live
