Dead crawl on knees, hands
dry mouthed with dehydrated body
-vacant expression, through the sands
approaching the eight sided sea.
The sea is carved from stone
brimmed, yet without leaking
hydration- poured to atone,
prompting the soul to sing.
The water is deep, dark red
the shade of withdrawn Blood
cleansing what's behind - ahead
- now, in the rejuvenating flood.
The baptismal font's a footpath;
antecedent- Messiah's Blood-bath.
* note- for a "sea" being a constructed object meant to hold water, see 1 Kings 7:23-26
