When they tell me the story is relevant to me
I deny it...

Once I've finished the egg, I tear up the foil
Into pieces of silver...

And after I've licked the last traces from my fingers
I wash my hands...
Even though I'm an atheist, I am fascinated by the story of Easter since it deals with the fundamental issues of love, hatred, trust and betrayal.

To all my fellow poets, whatever your faith may be, I wish you a Happy Easter.
