Easter

lambs arrive in spring

all wonder and

innocence

unaware a

rancher's nurture

is slaughter

 

there is

always hope

even when

there is none

 

the hopkins movie

about silence

is on in

an endless loop

at the motel 6

 

flashes of

online news

suggest the gunshot victims

are expected to make

a full recovery

as if they might forget

the holes the bullets make

 

the president announces

all our hearts

are with the families

of the deceased

as if no one

pulled the trigger

sold the guns

neglected years ago

to feed the killer

breakfast before school

 

the hopkins movie

about silence

is on in

an endless loop

at the rundown

motel 6

 

we can't get enough

 

christ rises again

reality is fluid

changes with

each point of view

high-end chefs prepare

ribs of lambs flavored

with mint and sage

for the well-to-do

who dine out on easter
