Mal o Malley? Poem from an East London Musician (poet and spiritualist)

Stray Dog in Cluj



Waiting for the taxi

A stray dog comes into focus

And there is a stamp of foot

And shoosh, shoosh, shoosh;

‘Away dog!’



Sometimes, unmarried

I have been shooshed

When my presence

Becomes too much:

A stray dog at the door,

Celibate but sexual,

With arms

But nowhere to wrap them

With organs of love

But nowhere to put them



But You are calling me

To put all of me

On Your altar

And to burn in the incense of Your

Love
