Crannóg No 7 winter 2004 Chirielle* Chonamara Tony O’Dwyer The morning light begins in flames, Ruby glintings that edge the peaks Then flourish into pallid gleams Entrancing by an ancient lake. A cauldron of effulgent lead Casts text in stones, the annals’ face, Rude founts of legend to be read Entrancing by an ancient lake. The autumn gods have bronzed with paint The stems of moorgrass, fluent streaks On burnished reed with gentle, faint Entrancings by an ancient lake. Three cattle stand knee-deep in bog, White and black and dun, and bleak Their grazing in the brumous fog, Entrancing by an ancient lake, As if they’d broken from a frame Where some Paul Henry sat to paint Them, primordial, rooted, tame, Entrancing by an ancient lake.

Crannóg No 7 winter 2004 The sky is swirling where its mass Of clouds casts shadows in its wake, Dark stirrings on the copper grass, Entrancing by an ancient lake. A single gorse beside the track, A ragged hiker, torn, the wreath And twist of sorrow on his back, Entrancing by an ancient lake. The wild swans’ wings with awesome waves, Sky-writing mythologies, stroke The fading page over Gleann nAoibh, Entrancing by an ancient lake. The dying light with charcoal streaks The smudge of evening’s shadow shape. The darkened water shivers, sleeps, Entrancing in an ancient lake. * A kyrielle is an old French form written in quatrains of iambic dimeter, i.e. with eight syllables per line, the first and third line rhyming and the fourth line repeating as a chorus.
