Fianna/Deer
Fianna
fianna
gan choinne
is líontar an réiteach lena ngile
murach airdeall na bhfianna
bheadh brat dorchadais ar an domhan
an fhuaim is lú –
cipín briosc á scoilteadh –
taifeadta do na glúine a thiocfaidh
éist, sceithfidh ár gcartlanna
fianna ar fán san fhoraois
Deer
suddenly
there are deer
and the clearing fills with light
were it not for the alertness of deer
the world would be in darkness
the littlest of sounds –
a dry twig cracking –
recorded for posterity
listen, all our archives will crumble
deer roam freely in the forest
