The chocolate egg

[Acephale]

The Chocolate Egg


A child sits between
his mother and
a Victorian radiator.


Held tightly,
a foil encased
chocolate egg.


Restless eyes scan
an empty cross
above adult heads.


Somewhere
a distant voice talks of
hatred,
death,
resurrection.


As the child wonders why
the egg is going soft.

Hi, 

I really liked the way you ended it. For the reader I might decide to change the 3rd stanza. 

Restless, 
eyes scan an empty cross
above adult heads. 

I would also leave out 'Somewhere' and begin with 'A distant voice talks of' I'd change the word 'talk' to 'speak' and add an ellipses to the end of 'resurrection.' 

I hope that helps, and I thought you did a wonderful job.
