Dónall Dempsey Poems

Alas we live
continually in the past

sunlight taking
...

Whenever I fell
asleep

my father came
...

Always enchantments
falling from your lips.

Orpheus...Eurydice
...

Lonely lipstick kiss
on the still burning cigarette
...

Auden & Isherwood
strolling in China

trying to soak up
...

Cat adopts
the position

of a Sphinx
...

I return
from fishing

feeling guilty
...

The dark grew darker
frightening the small candle
who sneezed & went out
...
