Cloghane by the Ce

In Cloghane by the Ce,

Apollo rose

breast plate gleaming


low tide,

Bay of Brandon bleeding


yellow gorse illuminating,

blue butterflies

careening through space


a bit of shale

to mark the resting place

stone walls centuries old


how many tales told,

sold, bartered

rolled down the hills

of time


and a well-tuned

rhyme

spun by hearthside

smoldering


harp,

guitar,

accordion


embers glow,

myriad colors show

stained pure as the glass

occupying

the threshold transom



*Cloghane is a small village on the north side of the Dingle Peninsula, on the Bay of Brandon in County Kerry, Ireland. The ‘Ce’ is the Irish word for wharf.
