First Cherry Blossom –
For Dublin, as for Japan ~
A resurrection.
And so, there you are –
As much Dublin as Japan ~
First Cherry Blossom.
First Cherry Blossom –
For Dublin, Japan, the World ~
The Resurrection.
Month: March 2013
Pilate’s Wife
An inchoate mob –
Desires its own ends ~ Jesus –
This shitty country.
Longcuts
Snipe
Once, we were hunting –
Two taken down ~ second lost –
Lost in the bracken.
It was down, deserved honour –
Boy, driven mad seeking it.
Filaments
The frost on the car –
Preserved by photo ~ patterns –
First bird’s plumes to mind.
Papa
Hard as nails, you were –
and great with your first grandson ~
Who’s proud of our name.
Gryphaea
Sneaky Gryphaea –
Waiting all this time, silent ~
Then painted, at last.
Centre
BOD, you focking ledge’ –
Even now, at career’s end ~
Making grown men cry.
March
Remarkable boots –
At first, unapproachable ~
Now, they are best friends.
Shield
My Young Gods, asleep –
Protecting the world, ‘neath curls ~
Comets pass us by.
