Poetry Day Ireland 2025: Duplex by Stuart Barnes
As part of Poetry Day Ireland 2025, twelve poems have been selected following a national call out to respond to this year's theme, May Day - read Duplex by Stuart Barnes below. Duplex Cleft phlox (Phlox bifida) In spring I fly open and burn pale purple, petal-edges curving like C clef. Curve over pebbles, my little C clef I sing to the skipper (which flocks, which flocks), icing for the skipper (Which phlox? Which phlox?), explosion for root rot, powdery mildew. My taproot powders erosion's eye. Still, you log and you crop and you dam and you mine. You log and you crop———I damn you to mine my oval emerald almanac. My emeralds go across fall———the knack outrages you like the cocklebur's sting. I'm outrageously bright and bursting to fly open in spring and burn pale purple.
