Dónall Dempsey Poems

Hopelessly I stand
curls plastered to my skull

the bus stop
...

Old blonde
drops fag in her martini.
Sound of loneliness.
Nobody interested
...

The year
(too tired to continue)

limps to its
...

Midway
over the Atlantic

the Starship Enterprise
...

I watch her
watching me

with her
...

The newly
acquired parrot

re-runs
...

Day takes off her dress
hangs it on an horizon.
Naked now as night
her rich black skin glittering
...

Tummy left in air
roller coaster makes me sick
on my sister's hair.
See once again my ice cream
...

The sunlight
arranges its shadows

delicately placing them
...
