The Irish poets and the poets of Ireland

If men are thirsty,

and money tingles

in pockets with holes,

all is by gone

even when weather boots

are worn to make up

for yesterday

when no one came

to watch close by

on how English words

are chewed

as if pepper and salt

are missing, or something else,

when twilight marks at the river side

a dance into the eternal night.
