We’re currently working on a Selected Works for poet John Ennis scheduled for release later this summer. Here’s a poem from the volume chosen by our @drniallmc
Goldcrest Falling by John Ennis
“In our times, birds fall down hardly noticed in the world.
The most diminutive of Irish birds, their wingbars gone pale
with underparts of gold darting through the mixed woodlands
not content till they perch on the treetops of deciduous beech;
their music will be seen and heard and hidden, that’s their will,
falling too when the stars are at their most piercing brilliance
and not a sound from them across the universe, and so light,
not even the displacement of an autumn leaf upon the earth.”
