The Whisky Blot
Journal of Literature, Poetry, and Haiku
driven from sleep
by the dog and your snoring, I lie on the sofa under thin musty sheets. my legs jut like rockpiles poking out over water. outside cars are crashing into railings and the sea. there are sirens, building sounds and rotations of helicopters. a girl yells a quite distinct curse word at someone. a man yells, more loudly and angry. DS Maolalai is a graduate of English Literature from Trinity College in Dublin and recently returned there after four years abroad in the UK and Canada. He has been writing poetry and short fiction for the past five or six years with some success. His writing has appeared in such publications as 4'33', Strange Bounce and Bong is Bard, Down in the Dirt Magazine, Out of Ours, The Eunoia Review, Kerouac's Dog, More Said Than Done, Star Tips, Myths Magazine, Ariadne's Thread, The Belleville Park Pages, Killing the Angel and Unrorean Broadsheet, by whom he was twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize. He has also had his work published in two collections; 'Love is Breaking Plates in the Garden' and 'Sad Havoc Among the Birds.' Comments are closed.
