Half-Moon Inn
February 15, 2010
Half-Moon Inn by Paco Pomet, oil on canvas.
“What has happened
To the sky?”
The voice of the child
Is strident.
The blind man
Consoles her
With the look of summer
In Ireland
Then climbs the steps like
A walking mountain.
And the child sees through
The darkness
Like the pen drawn poisons
In the grass
No reassurance
Is found in
This remorseless
Darkness
Moon spun
Within and without.
