Hollow Splendor
The hollow Easter bunnies and hollow
Metallic, glossy Easter eggs in foil
Are brownly easy enough to swallow,
Milk chocolate being what it is. Smooth voile
On tongue, as light and pleasant to the taste,
They seem to be denials of the thing
That they supposedly encode, the waste
Of death in triumph made of God’s upswing
And resurrection. Hollowness implies
A glory non-pareil, not made of light
Or matter, something spiritual in guise.
It is a weightiness that must take flight.
Because its mass is far too huge to stay
….Entombed, this hollowness has much to say.
