Travel Jnl Clare County Ireland


Hallowed Ground

At the friary ruins
there were enough
steps, walls, windows
to imagine friars
going about their holy business
in the hallowed halls.

But the family within—
smoking, playing ball,
crying for mama
and leaving a lunchtime mess
showed disrespect.
I left, saddened and a bit irritated.
