Famine road,
County Clare,
leading no where,
carrying no one,
puddles, like pools of
blood gone black, lie
all about,
well-bound by stonewalls,
each stone a bowl of
soup, a meal, a warm belly,
another day on this earth, and
the silent shuffling
of feet still drowns out
the crashing surf below.
A famine road, built by
famished people for a meal.
