(Bloomsday Society in Madrid)
Tearing away at the layers of Joyce
My friends and I gather each month
Verses and songs,
the music goes on
Bill Dixon even brings
his accordion along
Unwrapping this gift
of history and his stories
Edwardian Dublin comes alive
As we remember the day
that Molly Bloom
met the artist as a young man
With a founder whose name
translates as I sing
I bring my camera
as we all sing from
the same hymn sheet
Though I don’t always
understand him
Thank you Sara and Bill,
thanks to Chris and John
for the music you bring along
Mil gracias Elena y Pilar
Damian and Ophelia,
Maria and Malachy
For the presence you bring
Regaling in Bloom
Unwrapping this gift
which gives me a lift
