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
