EPISODE 30 #NaPodPoMo Introducing the end “THANKS TO SEAN” - new poem by Paul O’Mahony

With ginormous thanks to Jennifer Navarette - this is the final episode of #NaPodPoMo
You hear Paul O’Mahony read his new poem “Thanks to Sean (Dwan)”
————
Thanks to Sean
A smile is a weapon of mass destruction 

No no no no …

A smile is a weapon of mass seduction 

Phew 

I remember the man who gave me that line. Sean Dwan will be turning in his grave 

no no no no

Sean will be stumbling on his stave.

This blooming life
This creating life
This astronomically ambitious life 
This delightfilling  life

goes on - until the last letter of time explodes

and all that remains are unanswered questions. 

Perhaps …

“Why would you want to seduce an animal?” 

Even … 
Why would you want to seduce anyone? 

Meanwhile …

Better to live like the red breasted robin that sings from branches  of a naked beach tree . 

You do not have to curse the downpour and the great flood that bursts your river’s bank.

You do not have to sleep on a thorn-packed bed of nightmares

You only have to snuggle down with the rabbits, make friends with the earthworms and thank the cold for killing the bugs. 

Simplicity rocks

Rocks the cradle
