Our Lady, Queen of Ireland, or the Madonna of Ireland (1697) and Memorials of the Saints – 17 March
I have sought you since the cradle
Thought I’d heard you in the reverb
Of loving feeling
I rejected you when scripture
Was forced upon me
Shouted at you for letting only
The good die young
I gave thanks to you
For giving me companionship
And someone to take my essence
Forward into drastic futures
Now at these stark crossroads
When it seems every way is to lose
I challenge you to answer
To reveal something of yourself
In the substance of my life
Beyond the glorious imagaginings
Of pliant artists and architects
Willing you into existence
To spare these soulless tyrants
