#PoetryDayIRL Ceann an Mhaí abú! 🐝🐝🐝

When I picture her now she is grinding
lapis lazuli in some scriptorium
by starlight, by her own light, in the shine
of the moon, mixing to a blue rapture

her sorrows, her angers. She is minding
her language, in the midst of alarums,
of sirens, of danger.
Paula Meehan

Seán Dunne Poetry Competition, in memory of the late Waterford poet. Deadline 12th May.
