Dónall Dempsey Poems

Our hard words
knocked over

the sugar lumps
...

Yasuhara Teishitsu
destroyed all but three

of his
...

I pat
the cow.

The cow
...

dog invades from sea
gains the beach and then lets go
shaking itself dry
holiday makers react
...

New pond.
Young boys go splash...splash &...splash!
Old frog croaks: 'Fcuk off! '
...

Kiss after kiss after kiss
...kisses

as if
...

As your cancer
twists & snarls

biting into your soul
...

The carpet lifted
& fell

(lifted) &(fell)
...

I follow
my shadow.

It strides
...

Tenderly
I set the trap

with words
...
