Dán: Beach

I measc na sluaite
á bhfáil réidh don deire’ seachtain’
d’aimsíos beach mór aonair
traochta ar an gcosán, i mbaol a bháis
is stop mé mo shiúl
nuair a chuireadh m’óige i gcuimhne orm

Nuair a d’ísligh mo mháthair go glúine
sa gháirdín ina raibh a croí
agus mhínigh tábhacht na mbeach don saol;
a gcuma séimh, a gcuid oibre is maithis
‘gus gurb é costas a gcosaint ná gcuid saol

Ansin, rinneas mar a mhú

Quotes by Scott De Buitléir (?)

“[When on a bad date] …just give a pre-prepared excuse and make a dash for the nearest exit; something like “oh I really must go, I just remembered that I left my mother in the oven”. Or maybe “I’m so sorry, but I have to say goodbye to my cat before she’s launched into space”. And then run. RUN.”
― Scott De Buitléir, Yesterdates
