I can't blame Francesco Mollinari. I can't blame the shirts he gave me in return for my wager. I can't blame anyone or anything. I need to watch it, get good sleep, and keep my feet on the ground. This week will be a gentle week

INSIDIOUS - a poem
Insidious I was walking along a couple of roads, one turned to the sea, the wave, the water, the tide ... one sloped to the mountain, the scree, the rock, the peak ... I followed a breath like a hunter. There were distractions, high like eagles, busy like bees, imaginations like sugar, addictions, paradise, a sweet-shop shining scent of fish nectar, pollen, ice. I was walking a...

4th July - #WaltWhitmanShow on Periscope
Recorded during a live-streamed 'show' on Periscope. Paul O'Mahony reads from Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself" Unfortunately, this recording ends abruptly after 30 minutes. I must find out why. I sent a message to support @ Audioboom.  It seems you can only record 30 minutes on the website - if you want to record a longer episode you have to record on Audacity (or something like that) - a...

THE ISLANDER - (poem for #audiomo Day 29)
The Islander Chapter One He could have been on Sherkin, Inishbofin, Skelligs or even Rathlin... He was an outlaw, cast away from the land, away from his people. His face didn’t fit, his family were not from the right side of town. There was no time for him, he could rot there. Eventually his spirit would break, he would comply, he would conform, he would be broken or so they thought....

BROTHERS - (poem for #audiomo Day 26)
Brothers They were brothers, fresh from gathering, each clutching a bundle of yellowed leaves. Two short pants, one took his booty by the hand, and waved a sword with pirate fire. The other cradled his, and wouldn’t waste a single one. On they went writing epitaphs. #audiomo

CHILDREN - (poem for #audiomo Day 21)
Children No matter how tall the leaves of grass grow, the snow will fall again on the field. The rabbits are running now, nettles feasting on sunshine, and the bees are minding their own business, somewhere else. No matter my friend has lost his friend, there will be friends again. There is a cancer in the fields, long shadows over hedgerows. Birds I cannot name sing without melody ...

PULSE - (poem for #audiomo Day 20)

My family were herded together like cattle and passed into the cold beyond kissed by the fire of bullets from a manufacturing plant owned by anonymous shareholders. These are not my words. I have no words fit for a future that blows l...

WANTING MORE - (poem for #AudioMo Day 18)
Wanting more I’ve always been found wanting more than a woodpecker carves into the last tree in the last forest, wanting more than my parents ever offered, – even more than father bestowed on one of his good days. I was born wanting more time for love. I’ve grown hungrier by the day, thirstier by night, always grasping for clean air. There’s never been a father more loved, ever si...

RAINCLOUDS GATHER OVER GLANMIRE - (poem for #AudioMo Day 17)
Rainclouds gather over Glanmire How long since the last drop fell and left the soil sodden drunk? A summer stole by, disguised: wind and chill, washed-away dreams of suntan creams and cucumber eyes. Had I flown abroad, I’d know the pride of my prediction. Rain poured: lightning striking twice in Glanmire. Autumn has graced us with a prodigal sun, a fortnight blessed with drought. I’ll...

Apostle (homage to Seamus Heaney) How do I poem a verse for a god of letters, stumble out crafted phrases fit for his grandfatherly face? ‘Give up, sit down, keep your head below the parapet. Leave him to treat with Zeus and fire-stone syllables’. The soul in my finger hesitates before putting pen to line, before I light flame from his Easter candle.

REUNITED (poem for #audiomo day 14)

I pitched my leaky tent in Wiltshire ’til forced out by a wife’s thirst for regeneration. Winter hardened the road I travelled as I wished to wallow like ...

WHEN I AM OLD (poem for #Audiomo Day 9
When I am old When I am old the lines will show, the words perhaps no longer flow. The eyes will set and surely droop while underneath the bones will stoop. Across the brow may stretch a crease, a surface etched before deceased. When I am old the days I rue have slipped away and didn’t accrue. The fire records and cannot lie, the marks shine through and never die. When I am old there’ll be no ...
