Dónall Dempsey Poems

Proper little vixen!

We name her Mademoiselle Zoro
...

You take
a strawberry

flavoured condom
...

Mention (in passing)
that I like tartan

& now
...

Suspended above
Time

on a little rickety bridge
...

With no thigh
beside my thigh

I am poor indeed
...

NEVER EVER FRIGHTEN THE MEAL

I amuse her
with ordinary facts
...

I perched
on the tree outside your window

pretending to be
...

As if a sentinel
your nipple

like a great eye
...

Obscured by clouds
a hidden Orion

listens to your
...

Your hair
(fine as a baby’s fine)

so soft
...
