Priest (written about Denis Kevans, 1990) I know a little writer, he's a humorous sort of sod, and he says he's off religion but I know he close to god Cause he worships at the public bar and with the people there he sings a song and has a joke, and quotes his book of prayer. And like most priests there is a time when he is all alone, and he thinks of bloody awful things for which we must atone, and like most priest there is a time when vision nears despair, when he grasps for solid gospel and clutches empty air, and like some priests there is a time when voices like a choir inflame his tinder spirit and set his soul on fire... then you'll find him with his faithful, with psalms and songs and beers celebrating joyfully, as his eyes brim up with tears.
