4 Sails
Two Nile sails, two silent
turtle-doves.
Dream sail denied to thumb and
forefinger.
The down-at-heel sail of the
last Galway Hooker.
The Last Galway Hooker is a poem by Richard Murphy which tells the tale of a failing fishing boat and its path to restoration which en passant becomes retelling of the story of modern Irish history.
