NOEL KING
Cage
Soaring into love
two bodies become one,
fleeing respective nests,
to make a new hollow.
But clipped wings
can never fly again
– in a frustrated cage
union dictating the stand.

Nocturnes
1.
dusk in Listowel
brings out the rats of taste
sweeping literacy
2.
earth chunks chewed
by big-jawed Gods
leaving mountains
3.
foghorn
figures pass each other
shivering
