NED
This poem is from "A Belfast Kid" available in paperback from all major online booksellers.....
We
would go to the old man,
children
in awe, to ask him questions
and
off he'd go with a story,
true
or false, we didn't care.
He
had his way with words,
inflections
and drama,
whispers
and facial expressions,
measured
blinks, scary stare.
The
bottom step was our place,
where
five or six kids sat,
he
perched on the top step,
smelly
pipe and floppy hat.
Stories
of childhood, of school, of war,
told
by the man we knew as Ned,
but
reality hit us hard one summer,
when
we heard our storyteller was dead.
We
would go to the steps, children in grief,
and
picture the man alert but frail,
he
left us suddenly but he left us a gift
a
love of language, a love of a tale.
