Easter Haiku

For Jesse. Happy Easter!


Twitch goes the tail as her eyes
follow the flights above.
Feathers on the ground.


Curled on top cement step by
the door, her insides rumble.
Ants crawl across her nose.

Chesterton

If nothing else, I'll post here a favortie quote from G.K. Chesterton. This comes from a letter he wrote to his new fiancee telling her of all the things they shall do together as a married couple.

"We shall have bad things in the house and make them good things."

I LOVE this and I use it all the time. When I'm cooking food I look at the raw meat and say "You are bad, but I will make you good." Sometimes I have dust in my living room and dirt and grime in the kitchen, but those are bad things too and I make them good things.

Have a wonderful Sabbath!
