No More

Andrew Moloney 1978 (Dublin)



Flickered, flamed,
Born within,
Carried, burdened,
Constant,
Once more.

Chords, creation,
Strained within,
Broken, scattered,
Muted,
Once more.

Seasons, ceaseless,
Hidden within,
Regrets, replayed,
Scolded,
Once more.

Consumed, hollowed,
Embers within,
Cleared, cleaned,
Wearied,
No more.
