Peachskinned beach
Each wing couple-coloured
Bruised purples fainting to dustpuddle turquoise
Martyr reds
All light’s guises and guiles, conniving
Cormorants diving like church-blasted comets into vomit green seas seething rabid inches beyond the paddling feet
Arms aloft greeting dawn as it’s shot
Everyday Dublin drawn different
Indifferent goers, native indigents
Dizzying array of singular instance
Insistence on pittance of distance, poet’s portion
How sun gloried night’s abortion
How finned light wore water
Revealing facets hitherto occulted, teasing out Geminis
Sea sweet breach, cleft chest.
Sea great breached peach
Beached whale tumescent excresent bloated gaseous
Sagacious Nessus mischief medicine labours Herakles
Workaday blink do not; wake, wake, grave
Ah be jaysis heartbruck will blubber over my cart fed into hearse’s maw
Horse’s jaw gurning, lane outside my house
What name from his honest mouth
Whatever a horse says we true count
Whatever speed attains, measure by hoof
Trenchant insights in drunken merchant measure whorl forth from part-parted sleighting organs
In manner oligarchial, autarchial and authoritarial, serving tranches of snark
Snarling like a barkless dog who with his scrap of hog flank must part
Discordant harmony distended thoughts hover like comic book internal monologues.
Mouth spiders neither redoubt within nor crawl without at yawning open of crypts closed many solar cycles
Incapacitated day, lazy
Cowardice of illness
All ills healed in will foremost
Humors decanted into bulbous glass bilge jars bulging pregnant with ill wine.
