Fallen circle, Sheeffrey Wood, Co. Mayo

Íomhá Ron Rosenstock
sula raibh aon siolla Béarla ann
ná Gaeilge -
coill ársa i Maigh Eo
before a syllable of English
or Irish was spoken -
an ancient wood in Mayo
かつて在り―
古びた話
失せし記憶
there once was -
the story is too old
it is lost to memory
uair amháin bhí -
tá an scéal ró-ársa
tá sé ligthe i ndearmad
