This is another of those videos from November, this time of myself with Michael Sheils doing the honours on the camera. Again the lighting is not so good but nevertheless and that said hope you enjoy!
The Lost Roads of South Meath
Boreens
They called 'em
Back roads.
Turning in on themselves
Merging.
Between hedgerows
And red tin roofs
The roads less
Travelled...
And the odd tourist
Taking the shortcut
Advised to go back
By a man making hurlies.
To a sign that said
Kill something or other
Pointing out in the fields
Of buttercups and
Dandelions
Blowing in the wind
And not a bog
For miles.
The afternoon spent
Nursing the pint
Or a crossword
In Grocery Bars,
Stills battered
Out the back
And an insurance man
Selling clothes pegs
The company
Of a collie dog.
And there was any
God's amount
Of time.
