eventide

footballers cheer a score
pat carroll shoots rabbits in the gloom
children steal crab apples
and farmer byrne calls the cattle home
 
perhaps this chaotic place
is not kilcullen in 1989
but a dusty frontier town
at the heart of ancient palestine
 
the sounds dissolve
into a muted half felt bliss
fluted by fond memory
and a strange provincial holiness
