NOEL KING



Cage


Soaring into love
two bodies become one,
fleeing respective nests,
to make a new hollow.
But clipped wings
can never fly again
– in a frustrated cage
union dictating the stand.





Nocturnes


1.

dusk in Listowel
brings out the rats of taste
sweeping literacy

2.

earth chunks chewed
by big-jawed Gods
leaving mountains

3.

foghorn
figures pass each other
shivering
