Sunworn Mothervisions

Mare nostrum, I seek visions of Mary trueblue in and under the sun

Her son the wondermaker, her untouched, ne’er undone

By base rutting cunning, the innkeeper wanted money

But his disposition was about as sunny

As wintery Ballymun, rain-sullied and muddy

Sundered by a vast drug underworld

It pulls you in, promising you the world

Your head will twirl: spices delights bright lights.

The spirit enjoys, endures, tonight

A sense of something final

A shifting idol pointing to the high place.
