Easter, 2012

[W. Benjamin: Every date from the sixteenth century trails purple after it. Those of the nineteenth century are only now receiving their physiognomy.]

Lilac incipience, quince bush blushing, I am
In this; No. Weare, 1956, Colburn's store; Armand and
Marcy's; lemons & eggs. An ash so big it can't but lift
One's thoughts to God. This run of Piscataquog shallows was
A millpond in living memory. Animate
The dust: tiny mammals with Algonkian names.
