CHÖGYAM TRUNGPA (1939 -1987)

1
bíonn tú do do lámhach féin
i gcónaí –
& do mo lámhachsa

you are always
shooting yourself –
& shooting me


2
a silver bullet
that kills
the undead


 piléar airgid
a mharaíonn
an neamh-mharbh


3
cuir piléar tríd an gceann seo
 cuir piléar tríd an gcroí seo
 cuir piléar tríd an anam seo

 put a bullet through this head
 put a bullet through this heart
 put a bullet through this soul



4
your bullets are sweets
i chew one
&  become a fox



milseáin iad do chuid piléar
cognaím iad
& deintear sionnach díom


5
an lámhachóir ciúin
os cionn
do challáin féin


silent shooter
above all
 your commotion


6
á! béal le béal
le Annie Oakley
& aimsitheoirí Háidéis

ah! mouth to mouth
with Annie Oakley
& the sharpshooters of Hades

                            
                  PS
is dá n-osclóinn leathshúil
lámhach arís mé
gan teip

                PS
and should I open an eye
be sure
to shoot me again
