".....We should be careful
of each other, we should be kind,
while there is still time."

The Wind
"...There will be time in the long days and nights,
stunned by the sun or driven by the stars,
to unwind your spool of life.
You will learn again what you always knew-
the wind sweeps everything away."
'Ithaca', for Leonard Cohen, by Theo Dorgan
From 'Answering Back', Edited by Caron Ann Duffy

Oh, while I'm at it, the poem appears in full in Dorgan's most recent collection, GREEK, from Dedalus Press — www.dedaluspress.ie
Thanks :)
