The Bower

You promised and lied
that you would meet me at the sheep-shed.
I whistled and called,
no one came but the lambs sadly bleating.

You promised and you lied.
When you crossed the sea
I was not supposed to be
in the satchel of your mind
but on the ship
between the sound-beaten ribs.

I no longer expect you
today or tomorrow.

And down there in sorrow
I see everyone but you.
Down there in sorrow
my dark head turns to fleece,
flooded by my bleating.

Sean Callahan
