Who forgets generous acts,
standing by an unlit lamp,
trying to make fire,
watching distabt ships,
those who help always last,
measured by my dry lips,
my husband always laughs,
who forgot the candles,
to lift our little fast,
send us money not tips,
we’re jobless on the tramp,
throw salt at our fits,
bless our sacrosancts,
stamp the Catholic stamp,
do not let us sag,
help us to get lost,
spit saliva on our plans,
for you the baptised hosts,
give what you can.

Smoking a cigarette,
left here on my mind,
a lover's face at my bed,
can anyone retain,
dawn's unforgiving light,
the way he's framed,
he no longer bets,
about time after fights,
they havnt beat him yet,
he is first to name,
places it's wise to lie,
and safer still to fade,
a man beyond his stretch,
who kisses out his time,
dances with what's left,
crossed beyond the pale,
laughs beneath each sky,
small wonder that he sails,
colours bright as wine.
