warm-left-handed greetings to the Celtic Nations - Symphonic prose poem
#1
Overture




(A minor Blues danced and sung by uisge beatha* sweet to me in order to adress
the Celtic nations formally-infamously drunk)


“Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come: (William Butler Yeats)


“or the chosen virgin. Laid in her snow. On the altar of London. Was the first to die. (Dylan Thomas)




I couldn't make it to Baile Átha Cliath in time

because I was delayed in
Béal Feirste
for the most of my better not to be wasted time
and this was going on and this was
how and why:

among those gunned down without bloody holy mary mercy in a disaster (or let me rephrase by way of quotingvoting for Gadda': Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana)

that already Dylan Thomas had first observed and
then covered and then recorded and reported, what is oh so typically Belfast …

among those killed in the dusk raid
was a sweet sixteen all in vain because she is – state the fact – dead now and and ever so pointlessly and in the same vein it is pretty hard to stand they do that all the time,

just out of the wicked blue
a short-range projectile
cut her heart in two
in the very same
moment her's and my
tongues played to each other


a bit of hank chinaski
comes it too
love poems I write for exclusively she
says so: she says after reading me for wet and hot:

scusi baby, but I just died and would you mind to notice ---

" Or the chosen virgin. Laid in her snow. On the altar of London,. Was the first to die.  (from Ceremony after a fire raid, a poem by Dylan Thomas)
