He sweeps the sky with a master’s brush
in turquoise blue and violet bands
golds and oranges holding hands
no two skies the same
Stained glass colors bleeding down
touch the statue’s thorny crown
a body nailed upon a cross
whose loss became our gain
The Christ of Mount Cristo Rey
cross with painted skies ablaze
a masterpiece of numbered days
‘til the Son comes back again
