Bring pheasants bring cartwheels
Bring dark hallowed halls
Bring the quiet whisper
Whom no one thought to call
Bring a lamp
A can
A crucifix
Someone to lean against
Bring my mother
My son
In the dark and disorder
I won't go on alone
Without a home.

I like this and the flow of it works very well. It didn't register at first because the opening line is so anocronistic: it just doesn't seem like the sort of statement from a modern poem. And yet it fits so well into the narrative and creates an ideal and in doing so creates questions for the reader. What more can one expect?
