Dónall Dempsey Poems

Uncaged
your love is

rampant
...

The clocks
go forward

by an hour.
...

The music kept on
playing

not stopping
...

ULLASTRATH
(THE DAY BEFORE THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY)

Here upon the Boyne’s
...

WEARING YOUR WORDS

“I love you.” You say
leaving the words upon me
...

Like sky and weather
they went everywhere together

he was rain & she was cloud
...

A man emerged
from a wall

stood there halfway in
...

Here, held
between forefinger & thumb

the dead come
...

I live in a crayonned house
that opens onto

a multicoloured view
...

Blah! Blah!
Black sheep

Have you
...
