I Was at Calvary

by Mireya Perez Bustillo

On this hill Golgotha
where it happened
They call it Church of the Holy Sepulchre
a sacred site closely guarded
The moment came to be at the very spot
even to touch it in a hole for my arm
But there were two lines side by side
I was asked to choose
which was the true spot
The eastern Orthodox one or
the Western Christian one
The split so clear
even on Golgotha
