Easter Red Fifty Seed Packets In The Soil
Though the first day of spring passed, it's my birthday, and
Good Friday lumped into a green moss cluster of a week.
My finger nails are stained and cannot soak clean.
Was it from jeweled beets, turmeric and blueberries
to die the eggs; but they turned out like stones?
Was it from forgetting to wear gloves; but loving the
grit on my hands no magic cream can repair?
It seems romantic to dye your Easter eggs with turmeric, blueberry and beets but...
without soda ash or something to bind the dye it's not very bright...
So I got stones.
So here is a list of a few in no special parade.
Pray spring keeps her
promise not to be too cold.
