The Best Poem Of Marty McKenna

'From Cavehill'

i carve you out
of already alive
and lavish landscapes; build silent,
lived horizons about you, still do.

i paint the offing of you,
still raise with care
some infant dreams.

write lines, fill books
foaming toward a ceiling;
no wheres and not heres,
form rock crop parts
of this place, hold all and none
as room for this
static sketch of breath.
