Easter

Peter Magliocco

Some days I awake
& think I will live forever.
Enamored of time & its rivers,
Of that cross-splintered faith
Your mother bore to her glory.
Risen again, she is
In the aftermath of our thought
About the coming of finer things.
She spreads a sumptuous dinner
For us, expensive chinaware
Where turkey is coddled
Until our silver knives & forks
Sever her offerings,
And she disappears
From new memory again.
Though joined to sleepers wading
Marsh birds skim.
