As it is Poetry Day Ireland @PoetryDay_IRL, I felt inspired to write – been a while, so apologies! #PoetryDayIRL Text over the next few tweets, and then a recording to come at end.
Birds sing to me in the morning Easing me out of my slumber like an orchestra Dawn, creeping around the edges of the curtain, Invades the silence amplifying the songbirds, for me. Lockdown.
Morning, in a modern jail, with unlimited freedom inside the walls, Built of more than bricks, mortar and concrete, Walls of duty, Walls of legal obligation, Walls of community, Walls of hope, Walls of love, Walls of life. Lockdown.
