bláthanna

 

bláthanna

á bpógadh ag an ngrian . . .

mar a bheadh den uair dheireanach

flowers

embracing the sun . . .

as though for the last time

Grianghraf le Jason Symes

 

 

laethanta ag dul ar aghaidh

is ar aghaidh  . . .

bruscar á charnadh

Ron Rosenstock

macallaí . . . ag teacht is ag imeacht ó chainneoin na haigne

echoes . . . rising and falling from canyons of the mind

Richard Oelze

ní liom féin a bhíos bhí scata eile ag feitheamh scaip ráflaí go leor         ba liomsa thú, do mheasas         ach tá an domhan ag súil leat

i was not alone many others were waiting rumours abounded         i had thought of You as mine         no, the whole world is trembling

Dornán Tanka

zombaithe fóin

ag teacht faoi mo dhéin

ar an gcosán

seasaim i leataobh

is ligim dóibh dul tharam

John Quinnett

búir na leon i gcéin

ó na machairí

guth suaimhneach m’athar

ag insint scéalta

cois tine

Maria Steyn

amach sa samhradh

sa ghairdín

díreach roimh chontráth

teagmháil le plandaí, duilleoga, blátha

teagmháil nach raibh riamh agam leatsa

Margaret Chula

gáire beag

ar nós na seanlaethanta

ansin na tiúbanna

fuil is fual iontu

is boladh lag na críne

Alan Spring

titim na hoíche

míle gé fhiáin

ag neadú sa ghiolcach . ..

léimse a lán dánta

éadóchasacha

Michael McClintock

ón bhfuinneog

féachaim ar eala

ag eitilt ón loch  . . .

log sa philiúr

ar do thaobhsa den leaba

arsa neach éigin, 'tá anáil Dé sa ghaoth inniu . . .' ní rud neamhchoitianta é sin         naoimh ag siúl na sráideanna         gnáthdhaoine mar dhea

someone said 'the breath of God is in the wind today . . .' such prophecy is not uncommon         saints walking the streets         in the guise of ordinary folk

Lá Lúnasa / 1st August

D'fhiafraíos de dhuine i bpríosún uair amháin conas a ráinig dó a bheith ann agus ar seisean, 'Ghoideas péire bróg.' Arsa mise leis, dá mbeadh sé tar éis iarnród a ghoid go mbeadh sé ina Sheanadóir de chuid na Stát Aontaithe. (Mary Harris Jones).

                                                                     

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.
