Donal's hollow eyes
dark above his sharpened bony cheeks
will haunt me long beyond his living
He worked his father's fields
until his knees gave out
His daughter died in hunger
eating sweetness rot
he brought to keep her strong
from praties liquid in the ground
His son gave in and left
The boat removed him
from his land forever
And Donal died inside
to lose the mother ground
his father left him
