We are not bad people, we just have bad ways
Yet, not many understand
Have love in your heart for all
We are all one in the same
In an Irish pub last night I met
a man, Ryan Patrick Sheehan.
His eyes were brown, his lips were soft,
his heart was heavy with reason.

To me, he quoted an early Yeats
as if he were Yeats himself.
"The Cold Heaven" danced from his tongue
to rest on my heart's bookshelf.

He spoke of Goethe and Marcel Proust;
two hundred pages that described Combrayan
eye for detail that bordered insane.
he proceeded then to quote Swann's Way.

Of mystery and shadows his silence spoke.
His words, like kisses quite unplanned.
God speed and hope be in your heart
My brief, Ryan Patrick Sheehan.

A letter arrived chez nous
from Une Amie en France
with the correct frost code
but with slightly erroneous
address, yet despite all that
it reached us without going
to Reykjavik, apparently !!

John Goggin worked for C.I.E.
Coras Iompar Eireann the Irish
Rail Company, we used call it
Come In Early, because the trains
were always late.

Mr. Goggin delivered barrels
of Guinness on a Dray with
Keating, his shire horse.

At lunchtime he'd park up outside
the house at 27 Canon Sheehan Pl.
in Mallow, we lived at 31.

He always put the nosebag on
Keating, while he went in for
the spuds with bacon and cabbage.

My mother collected waste bread
for Mrs Goggin's Chick Hens who
were out the back of 27 in the quarter
acre.

I used to feel sorry for Keating, shaking
the nose bag trying to find bits of grain
that he had finished long before his master
had pealed the first potato.

The hedge was high between the house
and road, so I sneaked down with the
bread I stole from the chick hens bucket
and gave it to Keating.

I never knew the horses name, I christened
him after the wrapper, Keating of Kanturk.

For Twenty Four Years

Oh t’was many the time in
dark days of yore, when I
smelt the meat stench of
next house, Kearney Vore.

Though it must have been
worse, as it was, no Palace,
for poor “Denny Pa” Walsh,
“Living Next Door To Alice”

                 <>

30, 31, 32, 33. Are council
houses in a terrace known
Canon Sheehan Place in
Mallow County Cork Ireland.
I lived at 31 Denny Pa at 32
So now you must do the math.
My mouth can get the better of me
When my brain pops off
Without a safety catch.
The words come out malformed
And misaligned,
In spite of my true feelings and intentions.

The words of that great bard
Ed Sheehan echo in the aftermath -
“Trust and respect is what we do this for”.
And although we also share
So much more than that together,
I always regret when my love forgets
To carry those two core principles
That we worked so hard to establish.

I owe you better behaviour
Than ever forgetting that.
And although Emmanuel Kant
Does not dictate the terms of our love,
We owe each other a better love
Than I gave to you in those moments.

So here I am, and here it is -
I love you,and I’m sorry.
Despite your insistences,
I am often not perfect,
And it is important to acknowledge that,
So that I can work towards
Being perfect for you,
In the manner that we both understand.

All that I ever find myself wanting
To improve on and achieve in this life,
Is anything that will allow me
To build a better life for us,
And to be a better man,
For you and you alone.

I never thought I’d find myself praying
All these years after giving it up,
But if there is a God in this world,
Then the most beautiful gift
He has ever blessed me with
Is to be known and be loved by you.

I swear that I will fall in contrition,
Offer my words and my heart every day,
If it will bring happiness, peace, and love.
And if there is no God above,
I couldn’t be the least bit phased,
Because I would still pray to you, my love,
And have them answered every day.
For Felicity.

— The End —
