Beautiful New Irish Poem about Leonard

Below is the transcript of a beautiful poem published in the Irish Sunday Tribune..

Leonard Cohen at The Royal Hospital Kilmainham

By Aidan Murphy


"Doffing a cool new fedora, he comes
graciously from the shadows.

With the delicate face of
a merchant rich in melancholy,
with his famous, brazen grin,
he bows us in; and we go, willingly,

like children to kindness, into
his storm of redemption and loss,
into the smoky voice of the one-and-only,

truly kosher, 'grocer of despair' -

a man with nothing to sell but song
that pulls the trigger of the heart and
moistens the cratered lips of the moon."
