Dónall Dempsey Poems

In 1973
I woke up

at 6.30.
...

The teddy bear
sits out the storm

completely sodden
...

Listening to Plainchant
cat sits on an universe
many light years from
...

I hid
my love

like a leaf
...

She waves her hand &
...it's...as...if

she's waved a wand
...

The rain began
to fall behind me

as I crossed
...

A 99!

I watched
your tongue
...

Changing channels

not remotely
...

The sky has been
murdered

its sunset lies bloody
...

The desert
seeps under the bedroom door

even my imaginary friend
...
