The donkey ride <br />the road of palms <br />the garden path <br />the open arms, <br />the kiss <br />the cross <br />the thorny crown, <br />the shaking dice <br />the taking down. <br />The tomb <br />the stone <br />the gathering moss, <br />the nights without <br />the dental floss. <br />The coming out <br />the new belief <br />the doubting Tom, <br />the broken teeth, <br />the raising up <br />the making plain: <br />"Dad, I'm not going back down there again."<br /><br />John Hegley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/easter-eggley/
