How Long?

“How long must I put up with you?” 
Jesus’ actions answered his own question . . . 

Until the rooster sings 
and the sweat stings 
and the mallet rings 
And a hillside of demons smirk at a dying God. 

How long? 
Long enough for every sin 
to soak my sinless soul 
That heaven will turn in horror 
Until my swollen lips pronounce the final transaction: 
“It is finished.” 

How long? 
Until it kills me.
