Help sustain The Sun
|
Here at The Sun we aren’t working hard every day to sell the products of advertisers, or to enhance the profits of a publishing conglomerate, or to advance the aims of a particular religious or political group. We’re working for you.
Your tax-deductible donation will help ensure that the magazine doesn’t become another casualty of the recession. Please support The Sun during this critical time.

 Jesus Incognito
Poetry by Alison Luterman (January 1999)
Don’t tell anyone, but I love Jesus.
I love his big dark Jewish eyes, so full of suffering and soul,
like an unemployed poet’s, and his thick sensuous Jewish lips,
and his kinky curly hair, just like mine, uncontrollable despite conditioners,
and the way he always argues with everyone

The Sun’s proofreader Brent Winter recommends this poem. He says: “Alison Luterman writes ‘Jesus Incognito’ as a Jew contemplating the central figure of another religion; I read it as someone who, with sadness, renounced that religion. Yet this poem’s vigor, humor, and compassion bring us together somewhere in the middle, in a place that feels a lot like love.”
