Last rites

The homeless man
was drawing
the queen of spades
on the sidewalk

the crazy lady
on Oxford Street
playing scottish reels
on her tin whistle

the reel that opens the doors in the hills

guiding the court of the sidhe

and then there was me

laying down

the weird-wrought silver key

in the middle
of
Trafalgar Square.
