Days In The Life
Ireland's Child Care Institutions during the 20th. Century. Fo'T: The most vivid and passionate stories - banished babies, cruel orphanages, old abuses of power - have concerned things that went unnoticed, or at least unarticulated, at the time. News has often had to be redefined, not as the latest sensation but as that which everybody knew all along yet could not say.

The Light
The deepening shadows
of the twilight
lenghtened
encroached
and overtook
the fading rays
of the sinking Sun.
I stood bereft
without light
for a time
then beheld
the twinkling lights
above my head.
Consoling me.
Light had not vanished
from my world.
The Witnesses
All the lost days
down the years
confined
in claustrophobic
dank
dismal
darkness
And the walls didn't speak
nor the windows watch
there were no ears
to listen
or eyes
to see
Yet
those walls
those windows
wept
Deaf
Mute
Blind
Witnesses
