we boil and dye the eggs. i let you choose two from the paper carton. not the powder blue of a 1960 Cadillac. not the purple one, of course not! the pink one could have used another 60 seconds in the dye but we will keep her. the half celery half cucumber is a unique look and took a steady hand. you take your time, inspecting the beauty in them all, then roll one into my palm. we crack and peel the shells off. shake a little salt... and voila!   #katyamills

easter contraindicate




in our time of dying

i’m gone. 

hawaiian

there’s always something
held down. to rise up
when the powerful
recede and fall

flashing
crashing
giants. the dust all blocks the sun.
you would think the human race
was cooked. done

demonic. corporate. selfie
goddamn! it’s made us all
unhealthy

your bottom line
at my expense.
tax dollars. audits on our common
sense

i’m feeling slighted.
perpetually tense
terrified. in the woods.
dense

gimme some ativan
no. the half life ain’t no good
3 months supply of klonopin,
doctor…understood?

wait. wait!
stop the madness.
fill the heart with easter gladness
hallmark cards and sugar peeps
high fructose-powered
liberty jeeps

give me death. no
try again
resurrection?
count to ten

count backward now 

to five
multiply by noisy 

beehive

high division fructose
mixers
pure honey
netflixers

look east!
go there!
the sun rises also
john returns to yoko

the manson family
now disbanded
atlas shrugs off
Ayn Randed

Hiroshima
molecular
non-biblical
Conjecturer
plays out inside 

a sand dune

a sheep herder finds the body

learns to fear it
the ghost and the holy 

spirit

4.20 gatherings in denver.
burning trees
to their

knees
