EM Field Day
I
Standing: Statio, at the workstation
Then lug portable ––
Until the tablet with cell support, and view
of platform, from carriage, or car.
Low latency and jitter, passing through Lent,
We see at 3pm Friday, Dolorosa.
And later, near the Fourteenth.
II
Animated, sighs the soul; log out of this waiting state!
In anticipation: to bake, dust, bathe, elapse all hours before
a priest, flint lighter sparks the Vigil fire ––
Now blesses modest water for Eastertide.
III
Surrexit holiday of peace and solar cells ––
returning warmth for a festival,
after the first full moon of equinox.
Happy rush, all coastal.
Before meditations on
a cousin’s satnav set for home.
