Poetics On Easter by Peter Menkin Lilies At The Front Of The Church When I ask someone why do you go to Church, they say, “To see them light candles,” or “Go forward during the hymn, for the music,” or “Easter lilies.” These white flowers, delicate, adorn the front of the Church where we will go for communion, stepping among lovely waiting ones present and gone also in the promise of resurrection.
