Carol Ann Duffy Quotes

In The Convent, Y'all,
I Tend The Gardens,
watch Things Grow,
pray For The Immortal Soul
of Rock 'n' Roll.

They Call Me
Sister Presley Here,
The Reverend Mother
digs The Way I Move My Hips
just Like My Brother.

Gregorian Chant
drifts Out Across The Herbs
Pascha Nostrum Immolatus Est...
I Wear A Simple Habit,
darkish Hues,

a Wimple With A Novice-sewn
lace Band, A Rosary,
a Chain Of Keys,
a Pair Of Good And Sturdy
blue Suede Shoes.

I Think Of It
as Graceland Here,
a Land Of Grace.
It Puts My Trademark Slow Lopsided Smile
back On My Face.

Lawdy.
I'm Alive And Well.
Long Time Since I Walked
down Lonely Street
towards Heartbreak Hotel.

- Elvis's Twin Sister
