Dónall Dempsey Poems

Packed pub.

All the usual customers
& more.
...

Puddles
capture
stars
...

Like trapeze artists
we fall towards each other

our love
...

The rain fell
like sorrow.

The rain fell
...

Like water
cupped in hands

my written words
...

Some old
Chinese guy

wrote that
...

To Carthage
then you came

and other fabled places
...

Your caress
spoke to me

of love
...

You have left
your beauty within me

(as if asleep)
...

Your sky blue
summer dress

hung now
...
