No Moses Child

In Memory of Mike Costello

In the rushes he was found. No Moses child
Face down in brown water. Troubled mind
Watery crucifixion for a broken will
His Dolorosa, the boreen down the hill

The transport box brought him back
past a kitchen garden Gethsemane
to the waking station, under
the far off *Croagh, his Calvary

*Croagh Patrick, County Mayo, Ireland
