More Terrorists

for Lynch

The prayer book is putting on fat
With in memoriam cards.

The dead steal back
Like snails on the draining board

Caught after dark
Out of their shells.

Their very
Outnumbering, swarmy cunning
Betters

My ‘cut head’ and
Scares me as
Pascal was

At too many stars.

Padraic Fiacc appears to be describing how deaths generate more killings, through revenge.
