Farrera [25-27]

25. litríocht á plé
an oíche go léir:
tostmhar an fíon sa ghloine


26. gíoscán na gclár urláir –
tuairisc ar chogadh
i gcéin


27. meán oíche –
níl gíocs ó chloigín
an chapaill sléibhe

Farrera [25-27]

25. talking literature all night
the wine in the glass
becomes still


26. creaking of floor boards –
reports of a war
far away


27. midnight –
no sound
from the horse’s bell

translated from the Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock
