Dee
In the passage there's a fight,
between the drinkers and vagrants,
her youngest suffers in silence,
some ports are a sty,
behind the lip of alley ways,
where the cruise ships lie,
she goes forward with a sigh,
a cool oasis mind contained,
away from the tourist cries,
their brains are fried,
what you would expect anyway,
by sun, sex and wine,
stilled by a daughter dying,
laughing like no one's to blame,
she dreams of islands,
waits a moment for a lamp to shine,
the monastery’s sweet gaze,
a loving darkness around her light,
kneels to an ancient flame.
