To the man from Collooney’s Beech:

With the swiftness of a blade

you were thrust underearth:

  The deciduous nature of your fall

leasing your hair

                     skin

            and nails

to yellow

to murmur with your dust through the wind.

  Your

           greyblack

           dirtthick

           marrowbare bones

sinking into the soft flesh beneath

the nook of the thicket

to be

fingerwoven loosely into a canopy of roots

to be

stripped of your spidery shroud by storm

to be

stolen from your seedbare sepulcher

to again feel the kiss of wind on your earthworn bones

  my friend

though your death has long parted

and your voice has long been replaced

(by the rattle of your bones)

we pour your blackbrewed libation

from the bonebare trenches of our hearts

  maidin mhaith 

oíche mhaith
