easter's coming up

I have saved hollowed out eggs
for a couple of weeks.
I am making my own confetti.
(Glossy magazines+scissors.)
I will fill the eggs with confetti.
I will decorate the eggs.
On Easter Sunday my boyfriend
will reenact a childhood memory.
On Monday his aunt,
uncle, and cousin will vacuum.

In Sweden on the Thursday before Easter
little girls dress up as witches,
and ride their brooms off to a
distant island to party with the devil.
(Swedish folklore often involves the devil.)
(The little witches also go door to door collecting candy,
Halloween-style.)
