Donegal Poem by Leslie Philibert

Donegal



A line of stones,
the threat of so much space,
a fallen horizon.

Salt grass
coarse with rain,
nights heavy with tides

and the battered steel
of the sea, the broken gong
of the moon, strange friends.

Then, I know not what to call
the rought curves of peat,
slight of the sea,

a bodhran wind over the rocks.
When I am no more,
let me melt in the rain

of this cold coast,
its own name shaped,
the seagull`s call.
