A poem about one of those days when the world doesn’t feel like a friendly place, with a time-lapse video of nightfall over Galway Bay.
Listen to the poem recited by Cormac Culkeen in the video link below:
Visit With Despair A bile sky dissolves towards its meaning of night An Indian summer casts its heat in billows Inside, curtains pull to bleak unlight And the world is a churning horror All the eyes are empty All the lines are lies Nothing left but to plant feet spent with tension, Nerves pulsing wrack against themselves, Wait out These towering walls Their searching lights Cormac Culkeen 2021
