In the Fifth Week of Easter

Attrition of the soul
these first cold winter days
see how the leaves fall
like ash to the ground

In blanched light
we go to Mass
the four of us paired by hands
And come back cheerful;
to doughnuts and coffee
to newspapers and home
the children and their parents

Finding our irrefutable selves
in this clumsy way

Easter in the southern hemisphere has a special significance, as winter starts to take hold of the everyday life
