Martin Keaveney
Morning
Hundred thousand times ago
Five senses of morning
Strum the Viol
Sing foreign lands
End of a psalm
Salmon pinks
At the edge
Fresh
Fragrant
Father at stream
Seeking trout
Their leap
Without
Bare toes
Through the salon
Thick Braid
Cold peaches
Juice of grape
On my lip
Five senses of time
Hundred thousand mornings ago
