Sandycove, County Dublin at the weekend
The Other Side
When the frantic world
Is all too much
For your brain
Go into the other side
Of solid things
Poetry filled with sandy beaches
And teacups
Quiet blankets, rivers and monologues
Silent weeping, moon frogs and romance
Floorboards that creak
When the news
Makes you dizzy
With lost breath
Go to the other side
Of history, long lost loves
And the quiet knell of grass, so wise
Rain strewn landscapes
The darkness of night
Littered with stars
And century old bumblebees
Escape for a while
And join us on the other side
Remember why it is
We need to fight
