Outside Molly Malone’s

a girl was walking home

carrying her shoes.

When I drove home it was dawn.

On the new bypass

I was suddenly thrilled

by all they had destroyed to build it.

The past, relocated, waited for me at traffic lights

and I drove at speed with everything

to be grateful for, the present minute

exploding and smashing

the past to dust.

I dreamed a red steam train

ran by my house

its cargo carriage upon carriage

of honeysuckle.

The Colour of Pomegranates

An actor named Sophico Tchiaourelli plays the following roles: the young poet, the poet’s love, a nun with white lace, the angel who has risen from the dead and the mime.

Sunlight behind curtains. Sounds and the soft soft smell of an arm.

You were the one my dear whose hair like obedient wheat

parted to let the searchers through.

That was home, a grey mouse in a trap

a cupboard full of brown paper bags

a pit in which lived the black comforting stupidity of the family dog.
