You still look cold.
You should probably
come closer
to the fire before
it burns out.
I know you don’t remember,
no, you can’t remember,
can you?
But you love this
Never Ending Irish Rain
pouring down so green
and soft all cloaked around us
no matter where we are
in all of the whole earth
or time from the beginning blue…
you have jamais vu, my darling:
not remembering something
you always see each day, but
you forget as soon as
it is out of sight,
and then you turn your head
your beautiful estrangéd face
to the other side of midnight
and behold that silky rain
(as if for the first time)
that Never Ending Irish Rain
fell green across the golden waters
and washing down those greying sands,
quiet, themselves ablaze, a-falling
like stars straight thru the night
your eyes glow with delight
your heart goes green with grace
and all time is this moment
on your estrangéd face so wet
til you forget again
this sweet and spicy curtain
this velvet mist refreshing
…this cry of your true Celtic Heart…
Never Ending Irish Rain…
your Never Ending Irish Rain
