Shay in the house at Toads with Fireblossom Friday.
i roll me a slim tube of
tobacco and paper
spark it up and breathe
deep into the void
spill a generous dram of fire
into this bottomless glass
who cares now right?
Uisce Beatha’s irony burns
throw away the cork
night is endless in the
Spirit World
theme park
for the dead drunk.
notes: Uisce Beatha, pronounced “ish-ka-ba-ha”, takes its name from the ancient Gaelic for “water of life”.
