Luíonn siad
i ngort faoi réaltaí.
Luíonn i ngort faoin mbáisteach.
Faoin ngrian.
Tá daoine áirithe
ar an gcuma sin leis -
mar a bheadh pictiúr
faoi cheilt laistiar de phictiúr eile.
Meáchan gan choinne
ina chomhartha aibíochta.
Green-Striped Melons
They lie
under stars in a field.
They lie under rain in a field.
Under sun.
Some people
are like this as well --
like a painting
hidden beneath another painting.
An unexpected weight
the sign of their ripeness.
