A white house with a folly –
A tower attached
On the side
A hand painted saint
Lovingly painted
Peeps over a high wall
Which surrounds the white house
His loving gaze
Is interrupted
By a line of broken glass
Cemented
On top of the high wall
The saint
Lovingly dares
The outsider
Or the stray cat
To intrude
And receive his loving blessing
In lovingly lacerated hands
