Dónall Dempsey Poems

The bus stops
outside a shop

most inappropriately named
...

I wore
a frown

& a too tight
...

'I'd rather be dead
...only when I die! '
she smiled

FALLING AWAKE ASLEEP!

See she falls...asleep.
Storm tossed on sea of dreams.

before &... before.

She always came
...

As the boat
yaws

foam hits us
...

Here is the table & chair
of my grief.

Here is the painting
