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)
A slightly amended version:
When they shake out the fields,
wring the cities,
we fall out, boned trees.
How our Summers passed
and fell;
seasons of desire.
Left us gaunt and brittle,
finger nails
still scraping the sun.
