THE PROTECTING WORD Poem by Aifric Mac Aodha

THE PROTECTING WORD



Horses' skulls would be laid
Under dance hall corners, once,
to echo the clattering soles,
that the walls might burst with music.

How inhibiting, my dear,
that foundation of bones.
I would not parole the fear I felt,
but prayed it might stay by my side.
