Farmland in Meath

Hill of Tara

                                                 

                                               From up here, this landscape is a cubist composition ─

    a shattered windscreen.

                      Closer: traces of ancient earthworks ─

                                  pre-historic worm spirals beneath the skin.

                            Closer: tumuli, eyes fixed to the cosmos ─

birthmarks of science.

                     Closer: chevrons, spirals, sunbursts ─

birthmarks of art.
