Birth, Marriage, Death by Ciara Moran aged 9.
I’m stuck in here
This place with
Rushing red
All around me
Pink wrapped around
white
Constantly moving
Pushing hard
Then softer
Now the pressure
Pushes me out
Is this day or is this night?
Only one way to know
So I open my eyes
And do the most natural
thing that I can think of
I take my fi rst breath
It rushes
Through my body, flow
And I drink
