eve of the war

franny and pip sitting in a tree
kay eye ess ess eye en jee

the children are mocking two who toy with mystery
in shadow and in light
the day saphrons into darkness
the darkness into night
and the night prophecies
a thousand sunsets in the desert

my last hope
caught in the downflow
of starlight into sky
only this
frances
and philip
and their kiss

Mr Shields.
Welcome hence.
My gentle readers should know Mr Shields is appearing until the end of this week in the lead role of Shadow Of A Gunman at Kilcullen theatre.
Mr Shields himself should know I am currently writing the review of that play for the Leinster Lootheramawn.
