Requiescat

He's over there with the rest of the clan;

beloved mama running her salon, father off
exploring ancient antiquities in a parallel Irish bogland,

dear little sister Isola who died too soon,
Requiescat! She's the life and soul
of the party!

Oscar walking in the garden with little Jesus
and the Selfish Giant whose really a capital fellow

Cyril and Vyvian climbing the holme oak
and the twelve peach trees with their delicate blossoms
of pink and pearl.

Later, looking in the looking-glass,
another vanishing wrinkle, age reversal over there!

He sees his niece Dolly who seems like his double,
a twin soul, another Wilde for the world,

and Paris is a woman, uncle!
