Poetry by Irish poet Michael O'Dea. (poems © Michael O’Dea, Dedalus Press, Amastra-n-Galar, Lapwing Publications)
Gathered light from clouds,
made stone for building;
spun birds' chirpings,
wove them through the rafters;
harvested the greenness of fields,
cast it into a ringing bell;
built a well,
gazed skyward into its depth.
