Aodhán Corr Jan 2014
Gave her a ring
Asked for it back
“Gotta pay bills”
Well, I gotta buy smack
She’d leave me at once
But she don’t know the facts
And that’s just a part of the show

Aodhán Corr Jan 2014
Girl with no name
Caught in my snare
Hasn’t a clue
That I never once cared
But love is a war
So everything’s fair
And that’s just a part of the show
Aidan Corr Olsen (c) 2014
Clouds loiter outside
stained-glass
equally pigment and
dust
blurring pews strewn
with gaping song books,
silent mouths amid
sprouts of green.
Forgotten cathedral,
await the breach of
sun, her voice a
horn, pleading
to paint stone
tiles in shades
of biblical stories.
Your longing
echoes, an
ache in
under-rhythms
felt across time
by those who
reach.
A portrait of something I love. Go listen to Brahms.
