Dónall Dempsey Poems

Your summer dress
comes to rest

upon the balcony
...

Our life
was like

two marbles
...

STIRRED....NOT SHAKEN!

Candles conspire
cards elect to keep the score
...

In the distance

the church
a tiny toy
...

“I’m so hot...”
she said

“I have to stop
...

The white white walls
of the swimming pool

are on fire
...

Trains arrived at Bangledish
full of death or dying

blood seeps under carriage doors
...

Cutting the hedge
I sing: “ Summer

is icumen in
...

Statue goes for walk
moving its shadow through time
until it arrives
back to where it started from
...

Between your
breasts

the fly
...
