Íomhá : Jason Symes 

Bhí smaoineamh 

ann uair amháin... 

cá dtosnóm?

thirst / tart

rud millteach 

ar fad é 

tart na leipreachán 

it's a terrible, terrible thing 

the thirst 

of leprechauns

Haiku: Zen Monk Tanuki (aka GR) 

Éisc / fish

fish are attracted to him

as well . . .

Lord Buddha

meallann sé

na héisc chomh maith . . .

an Tiarna Búda

peștii, și ei

cad pradă atracției. . .  

Buddha, Domnul

Parthas / paradise

Ron Rosenstock 

ever destroying

and ever recreating itself . . .

this paradise

á scriosadh féin

is á athchruthú féin de shíor . . .

an parthas seo 

    

iar se distruge

și iar se reface. . .  

acest paradis
