Is file mé
here to fill a
function in the tribe,
to call out the imperial side
to capture
the imagination of a nation
with nets of silver
to sit in waiting
for God’s cast offs
and metaphors
and answers to
the ‘what fors?’
to invoke and provoke
and get my spoke
into this celtic wheel
and with a bleeding heart
make you feel
with the spoken word
make it real
