Good Friday afternoon
the white church steeple's shadow
darkens a stray
FYI: This haiku could be read as a prequel to the following:
whitewashed church
on the street corner a black man
with a crown of thorns
FYI: Ls 2&3 allude to "Black Jesus." Black theology envisions Jesus Christ as one who stands on the side of the oppressed people, blacks, and is one with them, over against the oppressor.
