| COW AND CALF, 1969. Louis le Brocquy |
I live for nonsense
and die by the truth
Pulling my ego
Out by the root
Scratches in pencil
Scratches in pain
I watch the words
Dissolve in the rain
I watch and grow weary
Of words and their thrust
Speeches and self-importance
Republics of dust
The bellow of a wounded cow
the screeching of a wren
Old patterns returning
Still meaningless
AMEN
