Poems and general conversation from Irish poet Michael O'Dea. Born in Roscommon, living in Donegal. Poetry from Ireland. (poems © Michael O’Dea, Dedalus Press, Amastra-n-Galar)
Bivalve shells
encasing lives:
magnificent lockets
ribbed and banded,
corrugated
and toothed shut.
Sublime
in design and plan
as befits
the preservation of life;
precious
even to blind nature.
