Pavement

A poem and artwork from John Sheehy

The slab of the nightfall over the darkness 
of the clouds, the night way is powerful, way up 
collapsed in disgraceful blows, the blow up 
of the nightmare, this is a slab of paving stones 
for paving the streets, roots of trees are pushing up the 
streets, pushing over a storm, lifted gates, 
railings, entrances, lifting up brick walls 
in houses and council flats, this line is not poetry 
it's a story, a tiny story, this is a nonsense of a story 
overhauled in denial, in fear, closed disguised in front 
of the dead dandelions, overall, the night stems 
in music, violins, cellist, classical music playing 
in the nightlife
