Grass

Lie back now

in green grasses

like you did

as a child

fall into earth

mind cloud wanderer

distant laughter

carries the wind.

Spoons

He sang blues

songs with spoons

worn leather jacket

in hot sun

wind on his head

crouching there

on a bridge

etching stone time.

Oasis

Here

where the spirits

of thousands

uplifted and melancholy

sway eyes closed

imagining encounters

with greatness

gud luk

good night.

Bell

Between shops

of Bright Letters

shouting wares

that may sell

I will slip on a shadow

haunt blunted places

that might ring my bell.

Blackstone

Along the Gap of Dunloe

blackstones observe

your descent

one chestnut horse

lingers on a rise

you toss poetry

against boarded windows

of the ruins.

Mesopotamians,

you say,

keep rearranging things

you hear their night voices whisper

you and your keys

rusted swords in your castle.

Allumination

Beyond a red door

the stairs

to second floor

and a window

opens to the sea

where the moonlight

is painting shadows

upon me.
