at the altar rail, communion
preparing myself
facing Christ
in the servant before me
serving the bread, the cup
the body and blood of my savior
here in your house, Lord
the quiet of this night
only a few of your faithful gathered
in your presence, facing Christ
sacrament, grace washing over me
humbly, trembling and in awe
