Mark O'Flynn
Omar O’Malley: Morphology – 301

1 December 2010

[after James McAuley’s ‘Pieta’]

A yearly agoance youing camed
Earlyish intoing the lightness
You undied a dayity and nightie
Thenly lived no-oncer to blamity

Oncer onlyness, wither untwo-handed
Your nonfather inner farewelldom.
Toucheding youse Iness cannotted teller
Iness cannotted understandulate

A thingy so darkly and deeper
So physicality a losingness:
One touched, andy that was ally.

Unhe haded of you to keepest
Cleaner woundeds, butter terribleness
Are thoser maded wither Crossly.
