Poem: Easter

Easter

Blurred between nonbelief and velocity
I make my home on the farm of dreams;
my friends are the hopping sheep, the sweat-
shop chickens, the lolling cattle. We dare
to vault the moon, and propelled
by three hundred sixty four days of momentum
I carve a world, spluttering pastel and glitter.

Why believe in this magic but not the other?
A host of modern world conjurations
wash out the book, dilute miracles
we once held sacred. What is real
is what we make real, or otherwise.
