eclipsed
Kathleen Madigan
stunned into silence by words
numinous and lucid
a mind on the liminal edge of this blue dot
a speck in a galaxy
peopled by idiots and saints
in equal measure
where across a sky dark and starlit
silence reigns wholly and queenly
and once a millenium comets compete
with space junk for night sky headlines
Kathleen Madigan’s work explores the miracles of ordinary, daily life and like the early Chinese
poets, she wants to speak of contact with the essence of things ablaze with themselves. She hosts, ‘poetry now’ for Highland Hospital Radio (https://highlandradio.com) where she interviews poets from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and beyond. Her work can be found in Poetry Scotland, Passion Fruit Review, Ink and Insights and Southlight. @kathleen_madigan
