New Poetry by Donal Mahoney

New Life Begins

white hips a soft fist

for the wrist of your waist

black hair in a spill

on your shoulders

small whirlpools

your ankles

green streams ride

your calves

blue rivers your thighs

I finger the flute

on the back of your neck

rise and slip in

at that moment dawn

and new

life begins
