Dark bitter night
by Will Dockery


Dark bitter night
starry srpingtime
Parnell, me & my baby
drinking beer
listening to Irish war songs
talking about Y2K
the return of Christ,
Balbuur & all their other friends
Gotterdammerung
I'll see ya in the Hall of Heroes
Baby, when you flee Catholic Heaven.

A little fragment of dogwood,
a snippet of misletoe,
take a mouthfull of kryptonite.
Parnell choked Elaine
while I went inside for ice.
Salt on my head,
pepper on hers.
Good vibes instantly go dark
while the music talks of black & tans
of this shed life
this savage drunken sodden life
a poet's life.
