Dónall Dempsey Poems

IT’S HARD TO GIVE AN ENGLISH YOB THE BRUSH OFF.

Pretty Japanese
being bothered in Dutch disco
...

Applies her lipstick
perfectly...immaculately
whilst chewing her gum
her bum moving in rhythm
...

We dared
to interupt

the sea
...

the kiss like lightning
happens very fast & then
dissolves back into dark
seeing it all in a flash
...

'...1956? '

'Ahhhh....' she smiled
baring her teeth.
...

LAUGHTER & CRIES

The question
crawls around the classroom.
...

The crab
out on the piss

the night before
...

Fortinbras
thought the tragedy

a comedy
...

MUMONKAN(GATELESS PASS)

Here, now
sister mine
...

Your hair
flows over

your left shoulder
...
