Against A Plebiscite For Shenagh Poem by Douglas Scotney

Either Aygon Sheila
or Aygon Shelagh,
(both said the same)
is the anglicized name
of the cut-short-by-the-flu-of-18
Austrian artist
Egon Shiele.

In the back of the Chambers*
look up 'Sheila':
anglicized Irish for 'Celia'.

Right above Sheila,
'Sheena':
anglicized Irish for 'Jane'.

'Shelagh' for 'Sheila'
is also fine;
but of the spelling 'Shenagh'
there's no sign.

To be sure,
mistakenly omitted.

If not so sure, come on,
no need for its use
to be plebiscitted.
