winter light- solas an ghimhridh

haiku by cathal o searcaigh (ireland) together with janak sapkota (nepal)

irish translation gabriel rosenstock

---

in the darkening rain

a peacock

lights up the morning

faoin mbáisteach dhorcha

gealann péacóg

an mhaidin

---

damp wall

grandfather’s fading photo

casts its shadow

falla fraighfhliuch

scáil ó ghrianghraf tréigthe

dem dhaideo

---

this cold night –

on the mountaintop, even the silence

becomes ice

is fuar í an oíche seo –

mullach an tsléibhe

an tost féin ina oighear

---

downpour of rain

then a mist through the village –

the reek of goats

bailc –

is ceo ar fud an tsráidbhaile –

bréantas na ngabhar

---

early morning sun –

a shadow walks

in silence

grian na mochdhála –

scáil ag fálróid

go ciúin
