Dónall Dempsey Poems

I love your human
beingness

I love where
...

I wander home
lost to the world

wrapped up against the cold
...

DUSO*

This star
was born with you
...

This man
who is not

my father
...

The water doesn't know

itself
as water
...

It’s not
your hair blown across my face

emeshing me
...

WON.
TOO.
TREE.
FORE!
...

I thought of
that kiss

you kissed me with
...

A coil of
curly hair

trapped in the soap
...

I breathe upon
the window pane

leaving a kiss
...
