Ripping, tearing, trapping, snaring
Mal O’Donnell
Poetry
Ripping tearing trapping snaring
Holding fast but silent now
The job is done
No living thing rests
In this place
It will rust into the earth
To lie with those
Caught on the wire
Mal selected Paul Nash’s image ‘The Wire’ to accompany his exploration of the visceral impact of chemotherapy.
