No Moses Child
In Memory of Mike Costello, Cloonbrisk, Garrafrauns
In the rushes he was found. No Moses child
Face down in brown water. Troubled mind
Watery crucifixion for a broken will
His dolla rosa, the boreen down the hill
The transport box brought him back
past a kitchen garden Gethsemane
to the waking station, under
the far off Croagh, his Calvary
