Eostre

Dawn

Version | “Dawn” [1899] Alphonse Mucha

Eastward, dawn flowers in pink glowing
cuckoo clouds painted equinoctial,
cottontails drifting over colored eggs
set Fabergéan in the misted grass.

Children scramble to basket the boon,
and renest the scattered hues of blessing
before baubles weeble down the brae.

Nearby, ears acute of Osterfuchs,
a spring hare, and rabbit-bandicoot.

The goddess smirks as kinder search for loot.
