There you stand, back turned to me
so I cant see your emotions
or read your secret expressions.
The only thing I know about you,
and its certainly not your name,
is that you are thinking and focusing
very intently on whatever is going on,
so much so, in fact, that your arm is shaking,
and rather violently, at that,
under the weight of the powerful stone you hold
away from your body.
Let me ask you something,
even though I know you cant hear me.
Do you enjoy holding stones
over the bodies of the Irish?
You look like one of the crazies
my mother used to warn me against,
like a glutton offering mercy
in exchange for soup,
like a fanatic crying Heresy!
or Witchcraft! in tongues,
like an executioner
negotiating the terms of his strike
with an unseen employer
before returning to work,
like a nave child, about to learn what happens
when you cant afford to keep
all of the puppies in the litter.
Whatever your motive, as best as I can tell
by the expression on your back,
you seem quite (sadistically) pleased
by the Irishmans squirming
underneath your powerful stone,
and I am all too disgusted by this whole scenario
to stick around and find out what happens.
