As Easter approaches I often need a reminder of why it’s so important. Perhaps you do as well.
My gracious friend Miriam Wei Wei Lo, an Australian poet and professor, helps me remember…
Easter, Margaret River
Saturday, 2 a.m. Someone is skateboarding
outside our bedroom window. Tick-tacking
up and down the kerb. Next door, the party
pounds on. Car doors open and slam.
Kids sit on the verge, passing joints,
and everywhere that tired old language of rebellion
rocks on. I swear I grow sick of this place.
These people flattening beer cans
outside my window. Jesus Christ!
This world you came to die for.

And that photo! I thought it looked like Perth … and it is! Great work, @harry.digital
I totally lucked into that photo, which I thought was perfect for your poem.
Happy Easter!
Thanks Dave! I’m glad the poem spoke to you.
Beautiful. Nice to see Miriam here, too.
Thank you, Robin. Mariam’s work makes for a good post.
Happy Easter!
