Among The Land Of Tongues Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Among The Land Of Tongues



Death unchains
the poet's brain

from his words

which now live
(in the brains of others)

for 3 days
the poet's brain

is displayed

and thousands upon thousands
flock to see it

as if they could see
the thoughts fleeing
across it.

All they see
is a brain

(a little heavier than usual)

and the poet laughs
to see it

laughs
in the face of death

his words living

among the land
of tongues.
