Inheritance

A Viking Longboat sailed yesterday,
out of the mist and into Dublin harbour,
shocking dark against the glow of early sunlight.
It was one of those morning wonders,
in which neon dimmed and car headlights were
giant eyes with snake bodies and voices growling;  
a silence of obscurity.
Only the timeless seagulls cried and waters parted.
She had no shadow.

It's all contained here, a single jewel
under torn concrete, a harsh cry in silence,
lap of waves and still reflections.
The moon had dimmed, swooping low
across the water.  Out of the clouds,
a sea dragon roared and plunged with grace.
No longer a mystical cliche but something
that could have been more than a myth.

Poetry left us on such plunging ships,
to return so familiar we never recognised
that we fought once to deny we ever wanted it.
Watching the sun burn away its shroud of fog,
it's easy to deny moments of knowing nothing,
and seeing everything.
Dreams belong entirely to unconscious minds,
that see beyond barriers, back
to where changes began so suddenly,
we built cities on them.

"What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?"
WB Yeats "No Second Troy"

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."
