Anna Couani #85 Kαλό Πάσχα!

the most celebratory thing we did at Easter

was eat with friends

and feed friends

I read about the debate over the name Easter

convinced of the original pagan scenario

then somebody said “quiet resurrection”

in the last few days

but I didn’t understand the reference

someone else had wonderful died eggs

or is that dyed

my dad seemed enthusiastic about dyed eggs

one year

and he got it together with the panty hose

and tea leaf dye mixture

made a pattern of leaves

that was when he was alive

and while he was still capable

of doing things in the kitchen

I still have his objects around me

at my computer

the blue and white Wedgewood box

for example

something he would have found in the back lane

thrown out by someone else

broken and reglued

but not obviously

so what with the shattered mirrored cigarette case

and the silver goblet

I can keep the good memories of him alive
