TOBAR PHADRAIC

Turn sideways into the light as they saythe old ones did and disappear into the originalityof it all. Be impatient with explanationsand discipline the mind not to beginquestions it cannot answer. Walk the green roadabove the bay and the low glinting fieldstoward the evening sun. Let that Atlanticgleam be ahead of you and the gray lightof the bay below you,until you catch, down on your left,the break in the wall,for just above in the shadowyou’ll find it hidden, a curved armof rock holding the water close to the mountain,a just-lit surface smoothing a scattering of coins,and in the niche above, notes to the deadand supplications for those who still live.Now you are alone with the transfigurationand ask no healing for your ownbut look down as if looking through time,as if through a rent veil from the

otherside of the question you’ve refused to ask,

and remember how as a childyour arms could rise and your palmsturn out to bless the world.
