Poem | Which

At the Fifth Station of the Cross
I am asked to “accept in particular
the death that is destined for me”
 Which I must keep myself from guessing
 Which I cannot refuse.

At the first Station of the Cross
I am asked to say to Jesus
“I love you more than I love myself”
 Which I long to believe
 And which is already a dying.
