Easter
Besides Christmas, Easter is the one mass
that packs the pews — there’s barely elbow room,
much less kneeling room. And as in the past,
so it is now — yes, we live for that link
to the memories in our blood, hold fast
to old habits. We love white lilies, pink
tulips, golden daffodils, and the booming
organ . . . leaving little time to think
about the upshot of the empty tomb.
