Invocation
Jerm Curtin
wet land
sodden land
rain kneading
the night-timethe gravel of rain on the window
a blanket of cloud on the nationwet land
of torchlight
land of acreage
and faction fights
a dead fox
in the ditch
and a spent cartridgerain in the wet hills
thirst on the vixen's tongueJerm Curtin is from West Cork but lives inSpain.
