Forever Amber(For Scarlett) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Forever Amber(For Scarlett)

Rating: 5.0


Piece of amber
fallen into the fruit bowl.

The fruit bowl
posing

as if for a still life

all oranges & lemons
while Sunday bells peal outside

I peel
an orange

one long continuous strip

give it
a twist

staple it
into a Moebius strip.

watch the fly

closely now

held forever
in its still life

forever

amber.
