A poem about momentarily glimpses on a busy winter day.
This is about shopping in Galway at Christmas time with images of Eyre Square and the Christmas Market. I hope you enjoy.
Listen to the poem recited by Cormac Culkeen in the video link below:
A Shop’s Glimpses A burble of children’s laughter Bottles a sharpened voice That takes in slopes of air, Presses from white walls In fades, while swatches Of headlights blink sleet, Coins of rutting movement, Collapsing postures of shadows Dance along rifts of tile Where lights ring in them Like moons.
