The Tomb

The smell of the dead

Smothered by stone

The guards watch the door

Guarding the body

Dead three days past

Men

In shining white robes

The stone

Rolled aside

The guards

Flee before them

Three women

Come to tend to the body

To see the man they knew and loved

They see the men

They are told the news

He is risen

He is risen indeed

They weep in joy

for their god is not in

The Tomb
