Reject the Numbness, II

Myrrh


And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
-Mark 15:23

Why did you refuse their mercy?


Without it, the impact of nail through
tissue-bone-tendon
drove undeadened into the brain.


The agony of gravity
reverberated undampened
against the ears.


How thoughtless of you Jesus,
to make the moment more difficult for them.
