Matt Mooney - Safe

On the edge of Ireland
Feeling safe at sunset
As we shiver for Japan
In chaos and in terror:
Earthquake -Richter scale,
Dislocated-or destroyed,
Running frantic-
Where is everybody?
Terra firma no more.

Beneath our feet
Planet Earth
Gives the cold shoulder
To the glowing sun,
Playing hide and seek
With Kerry Head.
