Description
Location:
The Old Famine Road, Doolough, County Mayo, Ireland
“Black shawls on wooden pegs behind the door
A wisp of peaty smoke curls from the fire
Small barefoot children linger in the yard
While mother’s needle sews with fingers worn.
A pot of black potatoes on the hob
Spews forth a rancid steam on hissing ash
A meagre fare for bellies stretched and sore
But mother’s done her best
Can do no more”
