From the Cathedral Building<\/h1>\n

by Neil McCarthy<\/p>\n

If I could see through your eyes the city
\nfrom the roof of the Cathedral Building,
\nhear the wind through the nearby arms of a crane
\nas I run cotton-moss between my fingers,
\nI, too, would smile and watch the tops of
\npeople’s heads and wonder what they are thinking.<\/p>\n

This is a poem you have already written.
\nThese lines shadow you daily down Father Griffin
\nRoad and across Wolfe Tone Bridge. And I am
\nwriting to you now, wondering which symbol, if any,
\nyou could remember me by: as hallowed sunshine,
\ncloud, or rain like fingerprints on the river<\/p>\n
