Jars and vials containing soil from rebel graves
Each labelled and dated
Collins ninety eight
Two thousand four Roger Casement
Known primarily for attempting to place
Rifles into RA hands, caught in the bay
As his submarine upcame
Laden with guns, bombs
Tools of pain, war’s trade
Also instrumental in exposing horrors in the Belgian Congo
Impressing on apathetic public sheer wrongness of that stewardship
He went there by steamship.
