EASTER BRUNCH

Today was Easter, so we wore 
pastels to work, served eggs, coffee, 
waffles, balanced little syrups 
and cups of butter, turned our palms 
to the heavens, arms loaded 
and levitating.

A lot of people were dressed 
like flowers today - 
the choir came in and sang 
hallelujah, we stuffed bills into 
our aprons, cleared each other’s tables, 
smiled across the room to catch
the grass-sun-power
drifting through.

Even the parking lot looked 
glorious, so we  took our drinks 
out there, looked at each other 
in the total light, 
for once.
