Dónall Dempsey - LEARNING TO FLY(for dearest darling Angie)

Some old
Chinese guy

wrote that
a poet

“Only suffers
writing poems...”

“...better...”
(he observed)

“...to spend your time
learning to fly.”

And so

“...concentrating
the sea of Heaven

in the inch space
of the heart...”

I fly.

I fly!

(Apologies to Meng Chiao & Wang Ch’ang Ling)

For Angie ‘cos she can
soar above everything and everyone.

And oh... she’s such a sweetheart.
