Punic Wars

Hannibal knew something that took
More than twenty years
To lose.
I think this, walking the sandstone
Trail
To O’Hares Creek.
Rockwarblers
Carry off small pieces of shadow,
Enough, maybe, to make a heart.
What will they do with it
That I can’t? And the water
Dragon
My daughter imitates on the weir
Wall,
The same dull colour of car rims –
What of it?
It has been here on this island
Fighting Romans all its life.
