AN ABSTRACT & BRIEF CHRONICLE OF THE TIME

Dónall  Dempsey has
asserted his right to be

identified as the author of
this moment

in accordance with
the Copyright, Design & Patents Act

of this very
now.

All rights reserved.

This moment is his
& his only.

Sea and sky both
have walk on parts.

A mountain is an extra
with no speaking part.

The tiniest of *****
sits enthroned upon

a sea-stained copy of
Prufrock's Love Song.

No one knows of this
moment

except Dónall  Dempsey
who lived it all

by himself
in his own aloneness.

He has turned the
moment into words

of his own
devising

so that you to
whoever you

may be
can partake

of this long lost
forgotten moment

until, human voices
wake us

". . .we drown. . ."
