POSTPANDEMIC PRAYER

Dear Sweet Jesus 

with your sacred heart 

bleeding for our loneliness

& for the love and honour of the Most High God

& in the smokey name of The Holy Spirit

& for the sake of the Queen of Heaven's starry Beatitudes

& for the memory of all those 

who got help from St Anthony 

& to help all the hopeless

who can't find St Jude

& in line with the grooviness of the New Groovy Pope

please let me be invited to a party 

an absolute banger of a party

a total disgrace of a party

that goes on for days

in kitchens

& tents

& boreens

& ruins 

& ends up in the woods

by a lough full of Loons

myself dancing like a rubber man

possessed by Grace Jones

surrounded by mad yokes

& sound heads

sharing Nirvana

we make for ourselves

for hours on end

Oh Lord for hours and hours and hours on end!
