The new season is about a month behind…
Season’s end – and start:
dead leaf spins on a bramble;
new shoots sprout below.

Ina ghnáthphost, caróg liath ar faire…
Ag luascadh sa ghaoth, [Swaying in the breeze,]
ar bharr an chrainn is airde, [the top of the highest tree,]
Caróg ag feitheamh. [a hooded crow waits.]

Níl mórán ag fás fós i mbliana…
Imreacha den donn, [Forty shades of brown,]
eiblíonn brat na nduilleog. [leaf carpet emulsifies.]
Múirín an gheimhridh. [Last Winter breaks down.]

March broke all the rules this year…
In like a lion;
leopards never change their spots:
Out like a lion!
