Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky (Thomas Merton’s Home)
IN THE GARDEN
Tears
from his eyes
and from his whole face
from his scalp
Tears
from his chest
and his arms
and from the tips of his fingers
He wept
from his whole body
and he bled
from his whole body
And then he was betrayed.
(The tears also flowed from the tips of my fingers. Mahmoud Darwish)
