“The Mourne Wall”
“The Mourne Wall”
Pivot around a structure that stretches on
There seems no end in it
Hard to tell what is being kept out and kept in
Meant to guard against harm
But harm boils up when idly walking by
Sinister sadness picks away
Left with an expanse of nothingness
Room enough for all of the pain
All of it
Then a bit more
Walking along the wall
Again uncertain of which side is the right side to be on
Frost contended that good fences make good neighbors
Impassible, endless walls make great hermits

It’s the longhand reach
That exceeds the grasp
Such things can only be calculated deliberately
Trying as one might
The might of effort
Required
Not matched
But, they sure do appreciate a good try.
Whatever the outcome might be.

Who could blame ya?
As violence begets pain.
Pirate’s plunder
Torn asunder
Your family’s gravy train.
No way of showing,
All are growing.
Soon you’ll be alone.
Father Dagda
Must keep rowing,
Despite a tide so low.

I suppose you’re on again
Trimming the fat
And cutting soup larger
Kitchen alchemy
Radish carvery
Sewing needle spool
Return to the larder
Washing clothes
Hanging hose
Displacing mares of the night
Battling gentle
Suppressed elemental
Granted for taken
Reverse, I’m mistaken
Even sleep is far from respite.
