Poem by Seamas Cain
an
charraig :
umhlaíocht, láracha
síolta, leabhair
Bhí an taispeána ag dul chun soiléire
Tháinig an t-ualach adhmaid ar maidin
Marcálaim cráin
ag an ruaig
coillte agus abhainn
umhlaíocht, láracha
síolta, leabhair
Bhí an taispeána ag dul chun soiléire
Tháinig an t-ualach adhmaid ar maidin
Marcálaim cráin
ag an ruaig
coillte agus abhainn
Translation by: Gabriel Rosenstock
the
rock:
humility,
mares
seeds,
books
the
revelation was becoming clearer
this
morning the load of timber arrived
i
mark a sow
where
the rout occurred
woods
and a river
beautiful! well done, Séamas!

ReplyDeletexactly my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI have known Seamas since 2007 when I asked if I could publish one of his poems in my poetry booklet at the time.
I'm still posting poetry from those booklets but been so busy!!
Exactly my thoughts.
