| Notes | A poem referring to police brutality, though the location is unspecified, the reference to the underground indicates a non-Irish context. The speaker of the poem describes the police as 'violence in blue uniforms' and speaks metaphorically of some of their deeds: chasing away 'hungry shadows' and giving the morning a 'bloody mouth'. This is contrasted with the rather jovial images of bacon frying and the sergeant trimming his beard in the barracks. |
