Jesus Casts Demons to the Swine Waves crashing and mighty wind blowing Fishing boat taking water too fast Rocking out to the storm as he slept His woman strapped herself to the mast. Going down seemed the only way out How she loved the taste of untimely death But this Jesus was not her only one Was that whiskey she smelled on his breath? To sleep so soundly in the midst of the storm Jack Daniels seemed logical for some reason But stirring, he reached for the captain’s helm Smiling at her and her lopsided treason. Violently splintering the boat on the rocks And God praying their souls for to keep Swine possessed, and falling into the lake Jesus wakes with the woman curled up at his feet. 2010 © Dayvid Graybill

Fantastic poetry and the picture of Jesus is beautiful. Amen!

I like this piece - it has a Beat poet's sense of transgression - and a certain earthiness that contrasts nicely with the implicit spiritual theme. The play on the ancient story works well here - and leaves the reader pondering a range of themes.

history states Jesus & his followers drank wine
and in that I have myself wondered
how did they know to not over indulge?
Did they ever get a hang over?
Gettin a biblical buzz ok? Gettin wicked drunk is not...you know?
Alcohol never comes with a quota limit per poundage
well you make me ponder...
so did he kill her?
Or save her?
was this sexual Dayvid?....hummmm :)

Biblical Buzz Tonight
with some Samuel Adams..Summer Ale :)

With this piece I was pretty narrowly focused when I wrote it. It is reminiscent of a story about Jesus (John 9) giving sight to a blind man. He spat
