Losing O at Ellis

Communities gated keep away vacant-eyed, ag féachaint

Fechin portrait handsome, mansome but skeletal

Prancing at barnhall dances, priests glancing sideye sidelines

Lancing early anything termed handsy

A segregated society’s most denigrated, at home

In squalor

The capable emigrated ages ago, far o’er foam 

Losing fadas at Ellis.
