Julia Ward Poet Free verse

Multicultural Vespers

"i like muslims",

whispered in newfangled vestry

                       for Viv might anger.

(She's said they'll blow us up in Leominster.*)


They won't, though, for Leominster is small,

bigger than London Bridge

and they're not strangers,

for all love us here, the veiled ones too.


"I LIKE MUSLIMS",

                       I venture, for Viv's not bothering.

A veiled lady sits beside me.

                                    Vespers now.
