All the Green Hours
It’s the witch hour
The day after Saint Pat’s
Though
The ministry of saints goes on
Brigid might be busy
Too
Being the saint
And also something of
Imbolc
The supernal spirit of the land

Riddle
(starts 1 February)
Brigid lit a candle near
A dark place in winter, where
The groundhog, drawn by
Light, emerged
Saw a black companion and
Never felt lonely again
In the south, she does this for the
Pagans
And in keystone Pennsylvania
There are black hats borne
On white men
Saint Philip likes the
Older men
Wishes for more color
Signs of spring we know
So by the end of second night
We have all the hints
And spring arrives no doubt
Without our help
And all the shaping of folklore
For the
Right time
Theirs and ours
Is near
