Easter Sunday 2021, the 2nd Covid Year
In some churches the organ
thunders at dawn
Ours squeaks (it might be a
bargain from Sears)
This does not change the
truth, the awe, the Light
That shines upon the Altar
this Easter day
Last year the Holy Mass
was forbidden by law
An eleventh plague
blighted land and air
And so for us there was no
exodus
From the brick pits in
which we found ourselves
And in the pews –
Empty spaces, empty
hearts, absent friends
But there is the Promise,
the Promise fulfilled
