The Secret Chord

Issue 2, Volume 1
Poetry

(Jeff Buckley—1966-1997)

When the muddy waters of the Mississippi
Pulled you from this world—
Did you claw for the songs in your heart?
Did you scream from your delicate soul ?
Did you hear the secret chord?

Did you hear the secret chord?

Stephen Kennedy is from Drogheda, County Louth. He had a poem in Issue Two of this magazine and his short fiction has appeared in Books Ireland.
