Okay, I get into the egg images and then shift to a fish, which, btw, is
beautifully written. I just don't get the significance. Is the fish like in The
Godfather a sign of death? Is the egg like in the Passover service a sign of
rebirth and spring renewal? Or is the egg but an egg and the fish but a fish?
And, because of the title, does the fish come back?

<< Returned to sender
It is Easter and I wanted to give you an egg
a chocolate one, wrapped in silver, tied with a ribbon of red
and for your breakfast, an egg, newly laid
still warm from the hen
But because I don't see you anymore
I will give you a fish instead
I bought one fresh from the market this morning
Its eyes are bright and its scales jeweled with sea
It smelled of oceans and coconut islands
when I sent it today
I wrapped it in foil with kisses and love
You should recieve it soon
But someone said you had gone away for a week. >>
