Ghazal
Easter 2020
Sleep escapes leaving only stars to count,
night sky fogged over on Good Friday.
Focus on rosary repetition
while moon clouded over on Good Friday.
I asked, I begged, and remained on my knees
lavender scent misunderstood Friday.
Create wreaths, boil eggs, clean the cabin twice
children fly the way home on Good Friday.
Gave us a beautiful savior and son
in grave pain was murdered on Good Friday.
A quiet request to Mary his mother
bring back my babies please on good Friday.
Ghazal and instructions how to make lavender wreath and
lavender Easter Egg nest.
Bees are attracted to the lavender when fresh, my nephew wasn't
so happy with the buzzing of visitors at their door.
The nest can be dried. I tend to put them in my chicken coop for the
girls to enjoy the smell and pick at the flowers at night.
I haven't been sleeping and really hope my daughter makes it out of
quarantine soon.
Son is up north in college rented house, doing his classes online to
graduate in June.
