Disappearing Acts

Soil

seed on path = 'I don't want to hear it'
seed on shallow soil = 'I don't want to think about it'
seed on rocky ground = 'I don't want to get hurt'
Good soil receives without any qualms

Conor is under The Plough with a furrowed brow.
He is talking to ether.
He is trying to join dots in the night sky.
He is struggling to make ends meet.

Conor doesn't know what's wrong with him...

the day the music died and the King of Pop popped his clogs..

Conor was driving home when he heard rumours that Michael Jackson had passed away.
It was 11pm.

It was at 11am, a mere 12hrs later that HMV Liffey Valley celebrated the death of a pop icon with a stand of CD's strategically positioned at the entrance.

So the fans mourned and sales increased.

Supply+Demand

fields empty on both sides of the motorway.

Conor watched lorries hurtle across Co Meath.
He overtook a Tesco lorry.
(Which left him worried)

With fields empty what would he eat if the lorry was empty?
And what would happen when the oil wells where empty?

He would have an empty tummy.

Speckled Things in Cooley

Conor saw a dented-headed-speckled-brown-bird on top of the hawthorn with pretty melody.
He saw a fast flying boomerang butterfly on lavender.

Mini Helicopters

A dragonfly on the Mill Road looks like a helicopter.
Conor's father on the moss cutting turf.
Sea King of the West Pier hacking blades in air.
Gazelle hovering over West Belfast.
Wessex landing in Eagleson's Field.
