Minus One

Excerpts, poetry 1 Minute

My magic circle broken

Minus one

The first one

To close his eyes

At first I hardly noticed

You were gone, but now

Your absence grips my throat

Chokes my breath

How much of you is me?

I have your hands

Your hazel eyes

Your quick dismissive shrug

I have your taste

In books and booze

I hear my voice

Confirm your old convictions

How much of you is me

Stretching to close the circle?

"We All Die in the End", (now with 5 star reviews on Goodreads and Amazon) is available in both paperback and ebook formats on Amazon. The book is an unusual collection of interlinked stories set in a small town on the Co Down coast. Some are grim, some deal with abusive relationships but there's a lot of dark humour here, and joy too. 16 of the 19 tales have been previously published in literary magazines, or have been broadcast, or both. I have just published a collection of poetry, haikus, and photographs, also available from Amazon in paperback and ebook format.
