JACK CHIRNSIDE Poems

Such a long, long time ago now. Me, up the ladder
You, stretched full length, passing nails. One by one
Eagerly you gifted them, gracefully I received them
And rhythmically whacked them home, blow by blow.
...

In the still of the night you come to me
I sense your shape in the white moonlight
I listen for you in the tick tock clock
And the far off surge of the sea
...

Your eyes, your mother's eyes. They melt me
Summer sun on spent snow, dropp by drop
From tussock stream to roaring river rapids
To peaceful rest in deep emerald pools
...

The Best Poem Of JACK CHIRNSIDE

Hammering In Nails

Such a long, long time ago now. Me, up the ladder
You, stretched full length, passing nails. One by one
Eagerly you gifted them, gracefully I received them
And rhythmically whacked them home, blow by blow.
Standing in the shade of the old beech tree, I watch you
Another man, another ladder, another wall, another time
Deftly plucking the nails from your nail bag, one by one
Skilfully hammering them home, blow by effortless blow.
