Contributor Series 11: On Birthdays
Not Quite Tomas

crosses the church yard
with a girl that would have been Sorcha, if it were
how much more than footsteps
between us now

there used to be horses before Cabra
sanctuary on the Liffey
our children would meet, play,
remember one another’s birthdays
PD Lyons’ most recent poem to appear here was My Soul Flows (May 2012).
