Cáitheadh

Dá mba mise an barruisce ghabhfainn chugam do bharraicíní.
Dhéanfainn suirí le do rúitíní le cúr griangheal na scríbe.
Dhéanfainn tathaint ar do choiscéim le haistarraingt na maidhme
is líonfainn ort na hioscaidí
le cuilithíní.

Dá mba mise an tonn shúraic dhéanfainn mán mán le do ghlúine.
Chuirfinn creathánacht ag preabarnach ar fud do cheathrúna.
Dhéanfainn leisbhearta dem chraiceann duit is triús dem shíoda uaithne,
brachlainn thar do bholg suas is
mórtas ort go guaillí.

Dá mba mé an mhuir iomghoirm ghoidfinn uait do shúile.
Chasfainn chugam d’intinn le siansa is suaitheadh.
Ruathuile ad tharraingt domhain domhain chugam de rúchladh,
cíocha an chuain ag borradh chugat
le mana múirne.

Mar gur geal an lá, gur geal an spéir, gur dáimh liom gach dúil bheo
is nach bhfágfainn broigheall dubh ar leac
dá bhféadfainn é mhuscailt.
Tá an fharraige ard, an ghrian go hard is taimse lán de ghrásta
is feam i lár na feamainne ag rince leis go sásta.

* 01.01.1949, Ireland
lives in: , Ireland

Biddy Jenkinson (a pseudonym) was born in 1949.

Although she is one of the most inspiring Irish language poets of the present day her personal identity remains generally unknown. She writes poetry and her poems have been published in several anthologies such as Dàn na hUidhre (1991) and Roghà Dànta (1999). She writes short stories as well which were published in the collection An Grà Riabhach (1999). She has also published a play called Mise, Subhò agus Maccò. She seeks to recreate a sense of the sacral world of nature and women's role in sustaining it. She writes all of her work in Gaelic and prefers that they are not translated into English as a gesture signifying that everything in Irish cannot be “harvested and stored” without loss in English. She is, at present, editor of Egise Eireann / Poetry Ireland Review.
