  3. Paraphrase The poem Bearing the Stigmata is about a black man who has aids and has committed the crime of adultery. He goes to church so he can be forgiven for what he has done. He goes up to communion, feeling humiliated, and every one stares at him because they know what he has done. Once he goes back to him pew Jesus comes off the cross and walks towards him.
