BIOGRAPHIES

Contributors


















Lavinia Kumar


Irish Farmer

He was washed and in his best suit,
but there was a worry if his wellies should
keep the mud from the field or be cleaned,
as his wife drank cups of tea in silence,

someone making pots hot and strong,
neighbors swirling around the kitchen
table talking over her about him,
and when Aunt Mary was coming in.

She banged a florin on the table,
harp side up, that’s for luck she said
into sudden silence, for the races,
and he’d taken it out of my bag.

So they’d lost all the races, lost
their last cow, and come the long way
back to their house and a last drink,
till the knock on the door came hard.
