POEM \'300\'
the poet buildsa Boat,
the reader
provides the crew
and sets it sailing;
a Chapel,
and it’s the reader
puts the choir in it
and fills it with music;
or
a Space,
that gets fitted out with furniture
and becomes a room.
The poet
takes a black page
and with his pen
absorbs the ink
and discovers the poem
in its centre.
The reader builds
a Poem;
the poet
is wont
to be unavailable.

Dán \'300\'
Dán \'300\'
tógann an fileBád,
an léitheoir
a chuireann criú inti
a chuireann í ag seoladh;
Sáipéal,
is is é an léitheoir
a chuireann an cór ann
a líonann é le ceol;
nó
Spás,
a fheistítear le troscán
go ndéantar seomra do.
Tógann an file
leathanach dubh
is lena pheann
súnn do an dúch
go n-aimsíonn an dán
ina lár.
Tógann an léitheoir
Dán;
bíonn
an file
gan a bheith ar fáil.
