Thank you for this amazing poetry on Judas betrayal. It has opened my eyes to see more clearly the meaning of this gospel regarding Judas thoughts on his thinking of who Jesus was.

Frank. This is among your finest poems. The last stanza is haunting in a way that will not leave my mind. Thank you.

Thanks Marty. I liked it too. It has seen different versions over the years but this feels the most mature, so far.

It feels Biblical and contemporary at the same time.

I agree with Marty- one of your finest. It helps me recognize that our modern experiences are ancient stories.
