Jean-blue
working
at a place
near the airport,
living nearby too
and walking in the morning
when the sky seems
somehow
wider, hemmed with real
horizons, perhaps
because the detail
shows you scale;
airplanes in wide
jean-blue,
stitching the skies
with their passage.

A little about myself; I'm
a graduate of English Literature from Trinity College in Dublin and recently
returned there after four years abroad in the UK and Canada. I have been
writing poetry and short fiction for the past eight or nine years with some
success. My writing has appeared in such publications as 4'33', Strange Bounce
and Bong is Bard, Down in the Dirt Magazine, Out of Ours, The Eunoia Review,
Kerouac's Dog, More Said Than Done, Star Tips, Myths Magazine, Ariadne's
Thread, The Belleville Park Pages, Killing the Angel and Unrorean Broadsheet,
by whom I was twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize. I also recently published
a short collection with Encircle Publications entitled 'Love is Breaking Plates
in the Garden'.
