spring. air. hearts aflight

beginning of golden may

we stand together

 

earrach, aer, aerach

an chéad lá buí bealtaine

táimid d’aon bhuíon

 

             *********

soft sunlight. we are

grateful for the small mercies

the cool speckled leaf

 

solas buí gréine

is buí le bocht an beagán

an duilleog bhuíbhreac

 

            *********

 

not just one pale life

dandelions—yellow blooms

BOOM.scatter soft, white

 

níl aon sórt buiocht

na caisearbháin bhoicht, bláth buí

go dtí PLÉASC—bog, bán
