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
