Hennesley Still Has It
12-18-18

Making it easy for a man to fall
Strengthening my grip upon the tennis ball
For when we know our earthly house dissolved
In the body absent from the Lord
I was a fool to care but I don't mind in supper jangles of bellows
Drinking with our victories
Saved to this and on
Charted to be of that in blood
Into the streets of Killala and Hilcummin
As to wake up and rock and roll by magic Christmas lights
And coffee of full strength and sweetening.....







Down To The Acres
12-18-18

O, great comfort forgetting not ones loyalty
Owen is not a man to forget
No, O one at all back in the eighties
When we were fearless as to walk down to the acres
For it tomorrow afternoon at Tobin's tavern bound for New England
And higher cigarette prices
I won't walk away from the price I pay
Among weary refugees as to dance upon air poor Paddy
He was true to himself and true to the faith
As seasoned by the blackthorn for halls of faction fights
By God great comfort....






Exousia
12-19-18

As touching the ministry of the saints
I know the forwardness of your mind
Tell me O are you kind
O, what do we have left to find
In a time of sundown soon time to unwind
Boasting to them of Macedonia
Moreover brethren meagerly beloved at Ashpoth-Pilgah
At Pisgah affirming Assir as a prisoner to pride in Geconiah
In there forensics forever feeling fragile in faithfulness in Yaweh at Attai
Serving Solomon in Augustus and ruling Roman empire under divine authority....
