Don’t Need Anything by Pat Mullan

Don’t Need Anything

by Pat Mullan

You gave me a present,
A book on Haiku and
I knew what you meant
Without knowing your language

the little brown bird
dies on this bright May morning
hitting the window

I am a strange woman,
I am a free spirit, you said,,
And then you were gone

looking back at the
sun setting over the hill
i am walking tall

we shared this May day
of high skies over Corrib
and picked wild flowers

And, at midnight , you wrote a poem for me;
‘You know the colour of the sky in English
I know the smell of the flowers in Japanese
And we know the image of everything
Don’t need anything.”
