The Faithful Departing

David Meagher

Limerick, Ireland


The Faithful Departing

Morning through the curtains calls time
on the unruly capers of night, I rise
to the waking world - its harsh apartheid
excludes the dead : they file out quietly
freed from the chores of the day.
This passing is without ceremony
There are no awkward parting shots
for later we’ll reconvene
to ride the maelstrom of the night.
