"A WAY A LONE A LAST A LOVED. . ."

You stare out at me
from a black&white; past

only in death you
once again become

my little brother.
***
The title is from the last sentence of Finnegan's Wake as it once again becomes the first sentence. He used to love saying this as stuck in a terrific traffic jam opposite Merchants Quay and we passed Adam and Eve's church and we rejoiced in Joyce's words....the traffic was terrified of the Joyce and would always unsnarl for us!

" riverrun, by Eve and Adams. . .. . ."
