Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

Easter Socks

When the Sabbath was over, (the woman) bought spices so they might anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb? “

—Mark 16:1-3 NIV

angels neaten room
Jesus Christ smiles at the sun
strolls out of the tomb
resurrection...it’s begun
knocks the socks off everyone
