To Ensure Life Poem by Liam ó Comáin

To Ensure Life



(in memory of my mother weeding)

in bent posture
a woman moves
along the drills
occasionally
she straightens
and the sun
brightens
a furrowed brow

on she goes
with back breaking
movements
her purpose
to ensure life
in the grasping act
of death
her form melting
into the landscape....
