Reply to Steve Partington's ‘Nuns. Khainga takes leave from his walk down K-Street to peer through the Convent.  

At the convent, we had come from a learning excursion

        For the mass of st Joseph

Each virgin brood, was beheld in her headscarf

Each carried a standard book of hymns

       That she may sing

 

One of those present, our new catechist

       Led in a golden bell

The voice variation, it was done well

And the song, it vibrated from the cathedral

      To assail my ears.

 

They knelt in suppplication, and remained hopeful

      For a spiritual nourishment

The Parish priest anointed all, and then went.

Inside my cubicle, I nursed a mental affliction

      That confined me on a chair

 

I was the rebel girl, from the village

      Who rejected a superstious affirmation,

And I turned down a padre's earthly affection

So, now in seclusion, my cloths drenched in tears

      I shall - but wail.
