Dublin at night from the Ha' Penny Bridge in January
Seagulls fighting overhead,
clouds cover the bars
the Beer Temple and The Oak
next door.
Sun peaks through the gloom
and shines on red bricks turning
them bronze.
Rainbow-striped crosswalks are
loud and proud with color.
old buildings and modern
juxtapose together.
Touching history from 1916
and earlier that ripples out
to today.
A hive of languages pass by
carrying stories with them in
Dublin’s streets.
