RALLIES IN IRELAND; POET PAULA MEEHAN SPEAKS

Poem of the Week


Words and Music

She moves about in the tiny flat
with the long strides of a goddess,
fixing this, or watering that,
mixing the books up, wearing my shirt.

She dials the little radio
through crashing waves of static,
through ‘words, words, words!’
and finds a hidden symphony

then moves a chair to occupy
the single square of morning sun,
basks in the full length of herself,
ankles hooked on the window sill,

feet conducting sky. She asks me
if I love her. I wouldn’t quite
go that far. It’s just that
if she leaves me, I’m done for.

 Colette Bryce
from The Wake Forest Series of Irish Poetry, Volume Three (upcoming)
