The twin spires of the cathedral
were pierheads
and me a loosed boat,
lost in Armagh
circling the Ulysses S. Grant homeland
bombing along country lanes,
a single-car accident waiting to happen
and wanting to be moored in you
on Raby street
wedged in your lips, your words,
nervous as a boy in Araby.
