The Endless Wanting Never Withers - In Memoriam: David Farrell Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

The Endless Wanting Never Withers - In Memoriam: David Farrell



If only my slug would cease
if the endless wanting would wither
then I who live in the curl of the shell
would sing to the end of the shining trail.
David Farrell


The poet comes
into the world

in his own shell
in which he’s curled

raises a periscopic
eye to see where

the world went
when he was not there

looks out along
endless white trails

and unsung songs
and untold tales.
