Bringing changes

As We Know It

...An ornamental doe and fawn,
suddenly move. Tails wave, noses nuzzle –
I have mistaken an actuality,
and now am thrown out of my skin.
I’m a millipede of fractal awareness.
I sniff the body-odor ...

Homeless Man

...I saw a homeless man 
Begging on O'connell bridge

Flowing aimlessly along the quays,
All around him a large crowd of people 
Walking to and fr...

Dublin

...Dublin city 
Along the quays

we at large will fall flat on our faces 
being worth little as a country in value

Dublin

...Irelands capital Dublin, it's a beautiful city
Famous for its Guinness and Jameson's whiskey
The Temple bar area for music and the 'craic'
Many say on departing "one day I'll be back".

Drenched In Red With Saint Valentine

hard-pressed the doors

in all the houses
on Clark Street.

Father Coughlin brought blessings
thinned with broth
from potato peelings.

Straight-up the arrows,

Echoes From the Liffey

...ECHOES FROM THE LIFFEY.

I hear it loud and clear,
A clarion call for the Irish,
A call to awaken our inner strength and rediscover the true us,
Even the walls echo it.

Voices Along the Liffey

...There's times I've thought
for all the rush, 
that days on end we sleep aloud. 
Time is always timing out,

how fast we try and run it down. 

I thought it when I had...

another sadder than you, 
another who's soul is like yours, 
if another exists like her.
