Easter at the Nursing Home

When bread
is this good
a morsel
 
will suffice
and when wine
is this good
 
a sip is enough
for the wraiths
and specters
 
coming toward
the altar now
on crutches
 
walkers
in wheel chairs
celebrating
 
the last Easter
some of them
will know
 
as they await
a resurrection
of their own.
