on Easter Monday

day after Easter
Easter
Monday
and
must I give up the feeling

I understand doctrinally and for
and for an attractive metaphor
we
might
call ourselves the Easter people

meaning
more than attendance
on
the day
however that might go
and how deeply from the hear

and
do we look to the weather for comfort
and alliance
that Earth is on our side for
our
beliefs

except there was a flood
and much later
storms
on Galilee that had to be rebuked
and
stilled by one who was divine

and
human
too

we may live in Easter
now
the air of resurrection
which might be good for anyone
to breathe
