Killybegs Poem by Liam ó Comáin

Killybegs



A boat dots the horizon
disappearing behind
a thigh of land
to re- emerge
crawling towards Killybegs.

The seascape is birdless
reflecting a greyish blue
as a windscreen reflects
sunshine from beyond Kilcar.

Slowly the horizon disappears
as the sea merges with the sky
where stars appear
like the blinking eyes
of a host of sidhe.

It's night time in Donegal.
