PASSING THROUGH

I lined your coffin
With the RTE Guide
And some handmade chocolates

Just in case you'd
Be caught between worlds

You after all, thought
That the non-dairy diet
As specified by your heart man
Didn't include your daily glass of milk
Or your card of Cadburys

I wondered who'd be there
To meet you, let you in,
Would you bump into Nehru, Gandhi, DeValera
Or would you just keep in with your own people?
