Sample piece from The Angels' Share
From the Land of the LivingIn the box, among
the sky and navy blue
of a Dublin jersey,
the fire-engine red
of a Liverpool scarf
scented with teen spirit,
they placed your mobile
phone before the lid
was screwed down.
Your brother, ten now,
still texts you
the scores
on a Saturday.
