saint’s day
patron he
of snakes
and Guinness
and green beer
he’s as much
my saint
as snags on
Sorry Day
my man’s
hey Jude
champ of hopeless cases
failed exams
and causes lost
Paddy’s for
nostalgia
for a phantom tribe
my blood
but not
my body
or my soul
distant memory
vague
familiarity
I cling to you
with
squatters’ rights.
