ina dtost

ó mhaidin . . .

stacaí farraige

 

 

they've said nothing

all morning . . .

sea stacks

 

 

 

 


 

ljós . . .

an focal Faróise ar sholas

ljós . . . ljós . . . ljós

              

 

ljós 

the Faroese word for light

ljós . . . ljós . . . ljós

búir leoin

is ea í  

búir na síoraíochta

 

 

a lion's roar

the roar

of eternity

 

 

 


 


osna

ó chroí folamh . . .

néalta á mbá ina chéile

 

 

a sigh

from an empty heart . . .

merging of clouds







díreoidh sí go deo

ar a bhfuil as a raon –

méar na caillí



it points forever 

to what's beyond its reach –

the witch's finger

 


 


 

 

Na Scigirí . . .

glé amach is amach iad

na néalta

 

 

Faroe Islands . . .

the utter clarity

of clouds

 


 



 

dordán aduain

píolótaigh truaillithe

ag mearcair

 


strange hum

pilot whales

contaminated by mercury
