Proof how my life was a wreck.

When a man starts out with his hands
Empty, but clean,
When a man starts to build a world,

A Little Prayer
Let us be thankful, Lord, for little things-
The song of birds, the rapture of the rose;
Cloud-dappled skies, the laugh of limpid springs,
Drowned sunbeams and the perfume April blows;

Out of the noise of tired people working,
Harried with thoughts of war and lists of dead,
His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing,
Clean boyish beauty and high-held head.

A seven years' bargain for the Golden Fleece.

It cost me, what with my daft management,

With sabres gleaming ready for the fight.
Not increased navies, skillful and commanding,
To bound the waters with an iron might.

In the world where men are seeking after fame;

Who loved the very ground on which he trod.

The dirk of defamation:

To do it as for Thee.

From the aching heart that shuttered your mood to the fear that after kicks in
It's useless fighting it off,

Clever, sharp, & intelligent

But... They went home.

rises that tableland, high delicate outline
of bony slopes wincing under the winter,
low trees, blue-leaved and olive, outcropping granite-

Before polygamy was made a sin;
When man, on many, multipli'd his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

The War In The Air
For a saving grace, we didn't see our dead,
Who rarely bothered coming home to die
But simply stayed away out there
In the clean war, the war in the air.

I took a contract to bury the body of blasphemous Bill MacKie,
Whenever, wherever or whatsoever the manner of death he die-
Whether he die in the light o' day or under the peak-faced moon;
In cabin or dance-hall, camp or dive, mucklucks or patent shoon;

Or were you in the coppice wheedling Kate?

Along the side-fall of the hill - Maguire and his men.

Is to sit an' tell each other what the children used to do.

My name carved into that desk will just be a carving,
And the pot-bellied children will still be starving.
