I not only – but I was there –
And so Many gathered –
It solely not – yet All should be –
Though I and Thee interred –

Think – Shall – Will – Would – Necessity
Be but the kneaded bread –
Bake it – Slice it – Host it – What may –
Still – We were thus – Brothered –

A Spear there tears – that – slits my Flank –
Must I – that it be yours –
A Scion flowers – that I planted –
Nicodemus – demurs –

But from this Flank – I bleed my All –
And gushes miles away –
That the Blossom – be opportune –
To Bumble-Bee – in May –
