May ’09

Boireann

Salann ar clocha,
stráiceáileann crainn buartha
aniar-aduaidh.

*********************

Signs of rain

The distant hills loom,
Grey clouds force the swallows low,
Cows are lying down.

*********************

May morning

Air bursting with song
and the bamboo leaves’ gentle
sussussurration.

*******************

Gold-month

Primrose, daffodils,
marsh-marigolds and now gorse:
Yellow-flower time.
