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 the present time
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
