The surprising scales

Romany

Roaming

in Antrim, you must

have come from good stock

the skirt around you

the genes coding for scraps


scraps of protection

from clinical death

or boredom

grinds that

punish and take time

you pushed the boundaries


human boundaries

the surprising scales

of doing

As noise

gets louder

towards

the apparent stop

Fire


You un-knowing the Holy Spirit

makes your achievements miraculous
