Lizz Murphy - Poem 212: Lilt xxvii. Roundabout art



ROUNDABOUT ART

In the Catholic areas the roundabouts feature religious icons 
mostly the Virgin Mary with her hands outstretched her face 
serene in the weak sunlight

No icons or idols for the Protestants only a patch of grass 
a circle of kerbing a red and blue worn down paint patina

All those roundabouts praying for art
