In Díseart Cemetery, Co Donegal



Considered to be Christian since the 6th century, but evidence of  Neolithic burial. Díseart is spare and magical. Religions pass into each other, rituals too. Díseart, among many sites in Ireland, is an example of this.




Silence, a bell without a clapper,
a call to prayer;
cross the bridge
you'll reach a state of grace.

Through the long grass, 
a well, earth's blood;
cleanse yourself
to the purity of water.


Three cairns 
to the the freedom of souls;
then, beneath the stone arch, pass, 
free into eternity.
