To release the chains


After Romans 6:1-14

To release the chains
required a death like
his death, with a promise
of release from death

and I told myself
this seems circular
not linear, this
death-life-death

death is spiritual
death is physical
sometimes

dead to this life
alive to next life

the chains fall
from wrists
from ankles
the chains drop

death is dead
I see you through
God’s eyeglasses
