One Real, one isn’t

 

“Unicorn!” the Deacon proclaimed, 

then proceeded weaving something 

mystical and hopeful between 

today’s First Reading, the Psalms, and 


the Holy Gospel. “Unicorn!” 

the Deacon, once again, exclaimed, 

“What is in your brain?” he challenged,  

“the shape, form, and color of some


thing that does not even exist?” 

“God on the Cross!” heated Deacon 

shouted, feverishly pointing,

gesturing to the large wood rood; 


the Crucifix, mounted behind 

and high above the Church altar. 

“God on the Cross!” he repeated, 

then left the pulpit and sat down.
