County Tyrone, Wednesday, 15th June, 2022…
***
***
Maybe, the magical battle
is still going on?
***
***
The Fomorians are described as
one-eyed, one-legged, and one-armed?
*
Which could just mean that they
were regarded as being deformed in some way.
***
***
Some of our adversaries, these days,
are nothing if not single-minded.
***
***
The structures of Little-Big Field
can at first sight seem chaotic and confusing.
***
***
There are circles, cairns, and stone rows,
apparently, all jumbled up together.
***
***
But the stone rows
start small and end big
at the cairns.
***
***
And the faces
in the portal-stones
to the circles
appear to be conversing.
***
***
What could they be saying?
*
Given the chance,
what would you say
to your long departed forebears?
***
***
The track of time
is not linear but circular,
at least that much is clear.
***
***
We still meet, to moot,
in a circle just like they did
but from the distance of time
a circle looks a lot like a line.
***
***
Traditional dance
explores lines and circles.
***
***
Maybe, instead of fighting
all the time, we could dance instead?
***
Twelve cairns, seven circles and five stone-rows to date.
***
What the dead said:
“It has got nothing at all to do with comets!”
