Millstone
it is alleged
—can it be true?
—
that your
millstone
would not grind
a druid’s grain
this I can’t
accept
this stone
guided by your
grace
hurtling
unsmashed
clear down the
mountain
why would such a lavish
gift
from such a
giving saint
grow stingy at the
druid’s faith?
you were kindly
raised
by one of the
elder cloth
kin and friends
were pagan
you yourself bore
a goddess name
no
I think these are
the words
of those who said
The Jews killed Jesus
when Jesus was
himself
a loyal Jew
grind the druid’s
corn
fair millstone
be what you were
hewn to be
don’t take the
blame
for cruel cowards’
acts
