Lie back now
in green grasses
like you did
as a child
fall into earth
mind cloud wanderer
distant laughter
carries the wind.

He sang blues
songs with spoons
worn leather jacket
in hot sun
wind on his head
crouching there
on a bridge
etching stone time.

Here
where the spirits
of thousands
uplifted and melancholy
sway eyes closed
imagining encounters
with greatness
gud luk
good night.

Between shops
of Bright Letters
shouting wares
that may sell
I will slip on a shadow
haunt blunted places
that might ring my bell.

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.

Beyond a red door
the stairs
to second floor
and a window
opens to the sea
where the moonlight
is painting shadows
upon me.
