NO. 31 O'HIGGINS ROAD, CURRAGH CAMP, CO. KILDARE.
I climb a stair
that isn't there
stand on a landing
in mid-air
each step I take
creates the next part
of the vanished house
lost to time
as see through
as a cartoon ghost.
This was
(still is) for me
No. 31
O'Higgins Road
my world
the universe of me.
What was once
my bedroom...is now a cloud
a window
become a moon
night and its storm
sit in our living room
a bird tiptoes
down the stair
flying through
nine year old me
reaching for the light switch
to turn on
what isn't there.
