Oh
my beloved Belfast
wind whipping enough
to blow your hat off to
let your hair dance on
the top of your head.
My beloved Belfast
sweet pink double
decker buses
scarf covered old
dolls rushing to work.
I am walking dreams
down Donegall Street
It is the harshest of a
fall day
I am freezing to death
in my white linen dress.
It is evening time and
I am rushing to city hall
for a dinner.
How can I kiss a city.
Breakfast at the Europa Hotel.
Belfast you hold me in your arms
I am crying in the memory
my bomb damaged wedding dress.
is a million pieces of glass
ambulances ringing fill my ears
I go to the zoo and sit with the tigers
the stone from Canada
is dancing down the tunnel pathways of
imported Prairie dogs from Manitoba
Belfast Belfast Belfast I
I was born in your city
