Dónall Dempsey - IDENTIKIT PICTURE

I have my father’s
eyes.

That look
of my mother.

My grandfather’s
laughter.

The smile
of my grandmother.

The cheekbones
of an ancestor

unknown to me.

Only the scar
& the frown

are mine.

Yes...that’s me
alright!

I’d recognise
myself

anytime
but

what am I
wanted for

if not
for loving you?
