Irish Street

Irish Street - Damian Smyth's new collection available as a hardback edition

Even the marvellous
Implies no outcome other than to be amazing
And spectacular, but not especially to be good;
Not especially to leave an aftermath behind
Seamless or unmarked, restored or as you were.
The touch of suffering is outrageous. Do not even ask
For a miracle. It will leave you changed for the rest of your days”

From ‘These Things’, p49
