From Cork with Love Adventure

Begins at the Riding stable where Louis chases rabbits - ends with a walk around the estate

A man strolls around an estate before midnight - accompanied by Louis & Puma. The half moon is not impressed. Earthworms are unmoved - recorded on Wednesday

How this poem was composed ...

Rushing river-water - a dog - conversation with a stranger

At 7am - up at the stables - Louis the dog chases rabbits - a pony is loose too

Unfollowing Unfavouriting People - an interlude - Walking cat & dog before midnight

Poem by Paul O'Mahony - read by Paul O'Mahony ________ Wanting more I’ve always been found wanting more than a woodpecker carves into the last tree in the last forest, wanting more than my parents ever offered, – even more than father bestowed on one of his good days. I was born wanting more time for love. I’ve grown hungrier by the day, thirstier by night, always grasping for clean air. There’s n...

It's good to be back home under the crescent moon

Bits & pieces from a day on which Paul O'Mahony ended up in Lahinch by the Atlantic Ocean

Reunited I left the house of my reincarnation before the swallows returned the year they cancelled the Grand National. I walked out the door before dawn disappeared, drove through a dream as if in a dismal draft of corked Dolcetto. I pitched my leaky tent in Wiltshire ’til forced out by a wife’s thirst for regeneration. Winter hardened the road I travelled as I wished to wallow like a pig in the h...

Begins with two infuriating disappointments - shortly followed by stories about #omaniLouis (English Setter), celebration of Myrtle Allen,

You don’t have to like oysters You don’t have to like oysters, there’s nothing wrong with you if caviar and truffles turn you off. Though some will look down their nose at you if you decline champagne, it’s not a sin to spend your life without a diamond ring or stud. As for grand opera, Wimbledon, Ascot and the Royal Tea Party, you’re not alone in preferring to dunk ginger nut biscuits in Earl Gra...

After midnight a man & his dog go out under stars

I rose from the dead We’d all love to rise from the dead and snatch a second chance from the teeth of history. Which of you would refuse resurrection and leave the stones in place until the winter breaks? My death was cold and stank of feces ... (continued in audio) Song of my Butterfly No one heard the song of the butterfly not even my mother, my brothers, nor the dog-walker who strode by our gar...

A saga - involving a long delay at Gatwick Airport - Paul O'Mahony needs patience

Buying red wine in a hurry before the off-licence shuts. A 2007 & a 2013 Spanish reds & a chat with the guy working in the shop. #omaniLondon

Fragments of sound recorded in woods, fields, by water & under stars

Paul O'Mahony reads his poem "Timeo Ergo Sum" [with thanks to Descartes] I am anxious therefore I am. Je suis anxieux donc je suis #audiomo Day 8

You hear the river, the birds & the voice of Paul O'Mahony's adventure

Backtracking They robbed one man of his loneliness when they automated the Skelligs - a lighthouse for the wider world went out. You could feed a multitude on the soft greenery with the loaves and fishes behind that view. We climbed the stairs assembled with the same architectural craft as those stones igloos. The cell opened up first light, then warmth, it became easier to see the attraction Ther...
