Ma & Pa & Us Poem by Dónall Dempsey
Ma & Pa & Us
Her voice
ran out
to meet us
before she did
her singing
gathering us up
held invisibly
in each note
as if already
we were a bunch
of flowers
in her hand
before she pulled us close
to her cuddly warmness
all breasts
& softness
my mother’s love
enclosing us
as if she were
prepared to die for us.
She, the mother hen
and we her precious chicks.
My Dad’s bicycle bell
& laughter
conjuring him up
before he turned the corner
and presented himself
to us
as if he were
the most wonderful present
we could ever desire
His love all full of fun
and songs and laughter.
Us kids
stood enraptured
captivated by
these beings
and their out of this world
...love.
Not sure whether I like the Ma/Pa thingy but the poem is yet another out of this world love poem and you just conjure their presence out of the air. As always I stand enrapatured...captivated by your thoughts and feelings and how you manifest them into words. Gina XXX
