Mary's Angina, by Mark Tulin
17/12/2018

Mary feels her heart thumping. She motions Jesus to get her water.

“Please don’t go to the Mount today,” she implores. “I’m worried.”

“Mom, my followers are expecting me.”

"You’re such a martyr, Jesus. Why don’t you let other people hang from the cross? Why do you always have to be the one that gets your hands and feet nailed?”

“Mom—Stop!” Jesus pleads, but she goes on.

“Who cares about sinners? You’re dying for people you don’t even know. Get married and make babies. Be a normal person.”

Jesus promises his mother that he won’t die.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    Loved it Mark the evangelist. I have been waiting for a new gospel for a long time.
