WILD WAVES CRASHING
ABOUT THE OLD HEAD OF KINSALE
I scramble
into your bed
like I'd do when I was 2
or four or more.
Rub your back for you
(you my 95 year old child )
until sleep gathers you in.
Just like you did for me
when I was your little boy.
I listen to you as slowly slowly
your dreams capture you.
I love your each and every breath.
And when you awake
two hours later
there I am
still rubbing your back.
You smile and tell me
your mother would do the same
when you were a tiny boy
waves crashing about the Old Head of Kinsale.
So here we all are
the backrubbers of the ages
all in the one place
sharing different times
comforting,,,soothing
easing all the pain
waves crashing about the Old Head of Kinsale.
