Frankie Quinn with a poem from his book Open Gates.



Ocean

Waves brush the ocean’s face
Gently kissing away each spray
Cast over sand dunes where
Each grain waits its turn to
Fall closer to water’s edge.
 * *
Ocean rise up! Sing in booming voice
To infant waves maturing
To swishing plumps of sea
Lolling in the sands’ embrace,
Swallowed without a trace.


Frankie Quinn is a former republican prisoner who is now a community activist. He is the author of Open Gates, a book of poetry.
