Daffodils


Judy how are you 

Long time no sea 

But you live in Leeds 

I was inside 

Who

Avril Jennifer and Masie 

All at the same time 

Wow you are a curious girl Josie

I was also in prison 

HMP Castle Combe 

Why 

Because I was chatting with God 

I was asking that my best friend be spared 

What was wrong with her 

She jumped in front of a train 

Messy 

I am a good Catholic girl 

And although my friend 

Was in six pieces 

Parts of her were still alive 

Which parts 

Her left tit her knee cap and her nose 

I was praying that she would become whole again 

And not end up in a hole like my other special friends 

Did God answer your prayers 

Not really 

Why 

Because I was arrested 

For what

Praying 

Is that against the law 

It seems so 

What did your brief say 

I was commando 

As the weather was very warm 

Where were you 

Radcliffe Road 

There is an abortion clinic there 

Really 

What does it look like 

Auschwitz I suppose 

How long were you inside 

Four months 

What did you do to pass the time 

I wrote scented love letters to daffodils 

They are one of the few Christian flowers 

Would you pray again Judy 

Yes 

But I would do it from above 

I would wear a disguise 

Judy in the Skies 

Do you think that free speech is being eroded in this country 

Very much 

And to make things worse the daffodils outside the town hall 

Were massacred on Tuesday afternoon 

It is maybe because they were out of season   

Daffodils never die Joe 

You above all people should know that

They fade but like Our Lord

Daffodils always reappear
