Trilobite Jesus

By: Danny Rosen

He did not die for my sins,

but from a sudden build-up

of ash, the thickening weight.

The newest level of the sea found him

awash on a hardened beach, by a river,

burrowed in, covered over, fast asleep

in far Utah, sending out one last signal.

The mud lithified about his lobe, all

his work turned to stone, and he lost hold

of every belief. Trilobite Jesus,

He didn’t die for my sins,

but He came back,

and I am drilling a hole in His head

gently, with a carbide hammer-drill bit,

to make of Him a pendant

to hang from ‘round my neck; an albatross

to mark this moment, this moment on the cross.
