THE SOOTHING WORD Poem by Aifric Mac Aodha

THE SOOTHING WORD



The opening image commands belief:
thousands and thousands of mice
streaming in and out
of the railway tracks.

Waiting for the whistle to sound
it's felt under their bones.
Let the train come, in the end,
but before that: displacement.
