all I can think of is my stomach -
it being dinner time here -
and my first day in Ireland when I saw
my first March hare in the grip
of its hormonal madness,
and I felt its rush in my own rush
of homesickness in a deep
deep-fried nostalgia which was
both comforting and bitter -
it was St Patrick's Day,
twelve years ago,
yesterday
yesterday
a gem, lines 4-9 particularly
