Easter again EasterA Poem by Michael Oliver
And a radiant id Moons
annual dogma
Bright tangents the sky Summoning
a rite
In open
eyed hiding The green man leaf shelters Masked
" from the silver bow And
her fierce hunting The seductress
screaming With
cloaks of soft assay Destruction
and a gleam The
God head sacrifices
This play of sordid lust In our timeless fleeing And a bloodless passion Of yearly conscience And
the green blade rises
The new hope is born From
a deeper ‘whatever’
