Fil?ocht Nua: New Poetry

MONTENOTTE

Suburb of the leaking roof and the saturated

cornice:

the city looks in at us through damaged windows.

Shutters and cloud

are opened. October threatens more sunlight

to bake again

our exhausted walls, the folded down valerian.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

After the wrought-iron gate, wrought-iron bridge,

I wander

through the undergrowth of laurel and camellia.

In truth,

afraid. I fear that twenty-year-old revisionist:

the second-year

I was, the cool bitterness. My own d?pit amoureux.
