SAVE THE DRUM (STD) Campaign

Decorated with swirly Celtic knotwork and poem by Seamus Heaney:
----------------

A rush in the ears
a spill of notes
across the bog
and I remember it - bodhran!

Childhood has gone now
and we move to culmination,
the beat firm and quick,
the skin taut
as the rhythm grows
pulsating and pounding
She bucks to my touch.

Hecabe knew the grief
of a lost child
as Troy fell.
She wreaks her vengence
on the blind.
And on our shores
the pulse and the tap
of shoes, hearts, and drum.
