This morning from a dewy motorway
I saw the new camp for the internees:
A bomb had left a crater of fresh clay
In the roadside, and over in the trees
Machine-gun posts defined a real stockade.

And it was deja-vu, some film made
Of Stalag 17, a bad dream with no sound.

In Ballymurphy. Competence with pain,
Coherent miseries, a bite and sup:
we hug our little destiny again.

Is there life before death? That's chalked up
In Ballymurphy. Competence with pain,

Before I joined them, I cracked my neck from side to side. Breathing in a martyred sigh, I reminded my temper to behave itself. If I'd learned one thing, it was that killing people who annoyed me generally created more problems than it solved.
