Lavabo

Martello Tower on snotgreen

Though we no more fear 

Napoleen

Saint Stephen’s stoning

Twenty three murder’s number

Twenty sixth, Christ amanger be

Mangy animals bleating, sent inside

Myrrh barely covering manure scent

Lá an Dreoilín, this year Dé Céadaoin

Draoí and éan combine, in mind

Stirring mystical archetypes

Fairy tissues wishful on trees.


Lather in the bowl

Bowl aloft, intoned

Hands flesked of sin

Benedictine cleanliness.


Syllid rosaries slid from linted prison

Bent backed repeating decades

Slented light grille-hitting blent

Hasped church at driftful midnight.
