Stephen Moran - Wild Cherry - November 2005 I heard the cranes on tracks singing to progress when they built their concrete house of cards. A hollow evicted became a hill. Cubitt Haden & Sisk raised seven giant mausoleums to seven system-built heroes. Spiral arms gerrymandered out across constituencies. Refugees fell in from the tumbling city. Now where hundred-foot lighting masts used to sway, the hill has been righted back to earth. Where only the odd sapling pined, a forest advances from Santry woods south. Listen to the singing of blackbird and robin in the branches now, and circling above in their changeless Dublin accent, the seagulls still crying, still laughing.

I've managed to get hold of the plaque layout for my wild cherry tree contribution to the public art project #Amaptocare by Johan Gerz. The tree itself is no more, but fear not, it made way for development with dozens of other trees. So "ave atque vale" my poor martyred wild cherry tree. #Ballymun
Old newspaper clipping (detail) headed "When Swift rode out to Ballymun". Some text about the topic and a picture of a very interesting historic residence, "Tower House".
...
In Tower House our Swift sojourned
or took a toilet break
and pondered on the shape
of native versus English turds
and how to popularise new words
...
and gave the man a shake.
