Selected Poems | Patrick Kavanagh

Inniskeen Road : July Evening

The bicycles go by in twos and threes -
There is a dance in Billy Brennan‘s barn tonight,
And there‘s the half -talk code of mysteries
And the wink- and -elbow language of delight.
Half-past eight and there is not a spot
Upon a mile of road, no shadow thrown
That might turn out a man or woman, not a footfall tapping secrecies of stone.

I have what every poet hates in spite 👇🏻👇🏻

Cathythoughts 👇🏻👇🏻Of all the solemn talk of contemplation. Oh, Alexander Selkirk knew the plight Of being king & government & nation. A road, a mile of kingdom, I am king Of banks and stones and every blooming thing. “ 5y
