Easter Pride

Noel Jeffs

peccadilloes of a place

shapeshifter of a Sydney delight

I keep the mystery alive

don’t know who you are,

stranger in the house;

will it bear down upon me?

my narrative is to stay alive and

be recondite.

my harvest time: she lives for her garden

am I trespassing on your time,

so alive and so dead.

immortal food, In a world asunder

the taming of the shrew in the passages

of an anchorite.

the sacred space of a new shore, alive  and

tenderly processed.

alive and newly faced

a wandering soul, of a hundred vanities

and a thousand faces

in a life of enchantment and breaking

ground

and an enchanted mile, so wonderfully made.

God give you peace and grace,

decking the hallows

the trumps of time will tell.
