  • When I stand 'mongst Fall's crimson descent
    that kisses tenderly the beating waves...

  • Speck (4) 2

    I feel like being the distraction
    keeping you up nights, vow...

  • Tango (5) 1

    Relentless, your energy is like dusk
    under Iguazu Falls, like the rhythmic crashing...

  • Teardrop (by Massive Attack)
    The way you pursed your lips when I left...

  • The Road (4) 1

    The empty road, at night, seems cold,
    or tranquil, or both - reflective cats-eyes...

  • Noble companion, stay striving still,
    keep thriving through weightier nuances...

  • I walked you home, one last time,
    we stopped at the gate. I remembered...

  • The rhythm beat of sax floated
    over from the canopied jazz club...

  • I wanted to dip my hand
    in the river, and blister my finger...

  • As a boy, I recall the golden evening -
    holding Mammy's hand at Cobh bay...

  • I wake up every morning to an alarming sound,
    the sound of no sound...

  • There is something I cannot mistake in
    the sentimental shimmer of four walls...
