What more could I have done
than to hold two doves in one hand,
marble the sky with a maiden hair fern,
lock up the roses in icy white igloos
and strum your guitar
with a palm frond from gibralter?
I’ve never flown solo
from the moon down to mexico
or ridden a roo over the rooftops
of Cork. You couldn’t have expected
I’d white wash your feet with lime flavored jello
or spit out the seeds from the last pomegranate?
My stockings may be laddered
with Dimaggio runs but the ink on my thumb
is proof of my innocence!
Duck billed and Strom Thurmonded
the cash cow’s deceased,
virgins are dancing in pitiful streets.
Fr. Louis is gone but the Abbey remains.
Where is your compassion for stained glass
and rose windows?

You give such a cross section of all things.

I liked it a lot.
