Here and Now, by Brian McClorry, SJ

Always here and now

In all the blood and mess

Everyone is born -

Their start holds fast

Then fades away: the wise

Had no need to travel

Though they always do

To lever formal clues

From tainted sources,

See how fears abound

Then go further on -

Birth will happen also

In unattended places

When sudden smiles

Calm suspicious faces.
