Saturday Night

I want it to be Saturday night
all week. Not a lot to ask.

That time before all the crap
hits TV and Match Of The Day.
Just then.

I want it.

I’m not asking for constant summer
just a little sunshine, metaphorically speaking,
Saturday, all week, would help.

Early Morning Mass Again

The priest marks a page
pulling the gold ribbon
that slips into place.
Lighting candles,
filling cruets,
incense smoulders, climbs: a ragged cloth,
perfuming the church,
touching Christ
on a breathless altar.
