Ars est celare artem

P.J. Kavanagh
homage to Louis MacNeice

Wish me luck bird, in appogiature from roof-top.
Whether the tune is mating or fighting or stating the
   joint is
Yours as far as a bird can sing, it sounds like praises
Duly delivered, that roofs have aerials, that rain can
   stop.

Wish me luck worm, whose moment has come, now
   looking absurd
...
Searching, please wait...
