The wind blows
Through the poppy fields
They bowed before him
Like the whole field of red flowers
Before the sun at midday

He left
and I went to search for him

The sun and the moon
Kept me company
And sometimes a red poppy
Here and there
By the road
And on old, abandoned railways


I sailed among the Mermaids
I copied in photoshop
In Copenhagen


I spent time with Calypso
As she sat next to me
In a café
In the old town centre
Asking me to serve her
With some breakfast
As she kept purring
And then sat in my lap
As I stroke her fur

Got lost through Hades
As I went past
A park in Vienna
Where they had built
A labyrinth
From a live fence

Then spotted
Scylla and Carybdis
as I was getting lost
On a map
With no gps

He had long ago set sail
Polyphemus told me

I wondered through
the streets of Dublin
Then returned home.

He had been waiting for me
For a long while.
