"Exults and Weeps at Once" - oil on Arches oil paper, 15 x 18.



You cough again,

Expectorate the snakes and

Water down the whiskey,

Wondering how you got so old

And where your passion went.


The wild god reaches into a bag

Made of moles and nightingale-skin.

He pulls out a two-reeded pipe,

Raises an eyebrow

And all the birds begin to sing.


The fox leaps into your eyes.

Otters rush from the darkness.

The snakes pour through your body.

Your dog howls and upstairs

Your wife both exults and weeps at once.

- from Sometimes a Wild God by Tom Hirons

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
