Resurrection
Is it true that after this life of ours we
shall one day be awakened
by a terrifying clamour of trumpets?
Forgive me God, but I console myself
that the beginning and resurrection of all
of us dead
will simply be announced by the crowing
of the cock.
After that we'll remain lying down a
while...
The first to get up will be Mother…
We'll hear her
quietly laying the fire,
quietly putting the kettle on the stove
and cosily taking the teapot out of the
cupboard.
We'll be home once more.
