Pottery - Diarmuid ó Maolalaí
the dingle peninsula.
a potters workshop. some elderly
poet, retired from writing
to pots. his new work,
apparently, gets displayed
sometimes in art galleries
and various craft
exhibitions. a sign
says the president
owns one. they're a favoured gift
to dignitaries. outside
the view falls off
to beaches like shattering
pottery. a closed coffee room,
and a teenager
working the till. upstairs,
in one corner, there are several books
about pottery. some books
about the history
of the dingle peninsula.
some books about sealife.
some yellow collections
of poems.
