Prayer For the Priests of Mexico City

Prayer for the Priests of Mexico City


July in the streets 
of Mexico City:
One of the women 
one never would marry.
One of the women one sees 
for an hour, for an evening.
Taco, tequila, 
tequila with lemon.
Christ keep the priests
of Mexico City.

Intriguing, Donal. Makes the reader wonder what made this woman drink. Hoping she did not have an affair with a priest. Best wishes, Carolyn
