coming home late
after a stop at The Belfast
to my own bottle of Irish
and thoughts of yesterday
today
hope for tomorrow
I toast the ghosts
hovering in corners
ice cubes bump shoulders
the overhead fan twirls
I take another book
from the shelf
there my friends from China
a tavern apart
and 1300 years
much to discuss
lifting a burden
from deep in the heart

Ah! Very nice.
Thanks.
A lovely piece ~ it captures the essence of the place, the thoughts and the reflective mode so beautifully. 🙂
Thank you. That’s very kind.
Much to discuss! Thanks for that. Makes a good companion to the Rexroth translation you posted after this.
I try to think of myself as being like a dj doing a playlist. Thematic or associative pairings. At least that’s the intention.
