What happens at night?
How do you sleep
Thinking you're right?
Your lies and misstatements
You speak with bald face
You echo your con man
It is a disgrace.
Gulf of America
Some of them cave
As you bring them along
The false roadways you pave.
Please, Karoline Leavitt
There is still a way
To escape all the falsehoods
You spout every day.
Press conferences come
Press conferences go
Why don't you go, too?
You still can, you know.

Love Letters Through Time
Context: Grace (Gráinne) Gifford, was a participant in the Irish nationalist struggle against British rule, which led to ‘The Easter Rising’, Easter Monday, 1916 in Dublin, Ireland. She was betrothed to one of the leaders, who were due to be executed the morning after being taken prisoner. Joseph and Grace were married the night before in his prison cell. Joseph (Seosamh Pluinceid)) was one of the leaders of The Rising, a signatory of the Irish Proclamation and, in death, a revered Irish hero. These are my imaginings of ‘her’ final words to him. I include a few words in Irish Gaelic as the movement that led to the rebellion favored speaking Irish, instead of English. I would wager a guess, as they were both poets and writers in the Irish republican movement that she would have chosen to marry her love of country with her love of him in expressing her devotion.
