CSI: Golgotha
by Buddah Moskowitz

Fully human
and fully divine:
the hallmark of humanity
is sinful
imperfection
and yet you had none.
I wonder
how you managed
to steer clear
of everything
but the bull's eye.
I reconstruct
your ignoble demise
like a forensic scientist
searching for something
to connect me
over the centuries
to you
something that would betray
your humanity.
As you hung there dying
and they mocked you,
you petitioned the father
for a pardon on their behalf.
I keep rooting around
for even the slightest wisp
of rotten humanity
and still come up empty.
I know you were sinless.
I know you were perfect.
I'm a believer.
I just want to know
how you did it.
