Dust by Gearóid Mac Lochlainn
Domhain ag titim as a chéile
As an neamhní a tháinig tú
Ligtear liú ó lár na cruinne
Fáilte romhat don damhsa dubh
Cad é mar a dhéantar damhsa dubh
‘S dú-léim insan oíche
‘S fonn fiáin na feadóige
Ag feadaíl i do chluasa
Féach ar charn na marbhán
Ag damhsa leo go síorraí
Déanfaidh siad an damhsa dubh
Arís i lár an aonaigh
Ó chlábar ru' na huaighe
Go guthanna na fidile
An dreolín ag ceolín
2 / 3
Damhsa dubh an dusta
Cad é mar ‘dhéantar damhsa dubh
A scaipfeadh fáth do bhuartha
A chuirfeadh ruaig ar scáthanna
A chreimeann ort san oíche
Cad é mar a dhéantar damhsa dubh
Chomh dubh leis an airne
As an luaith a léimeann tú
Ar ghlórtha réalta geala
Sin a bhfuil de chéimeanna
Níl damhs' ar bith níos fusa
Ó chré go cré a rachas tú
Ag damhsa leis an dusta
Sin a bhfuil -na céimeanna
Níl rud ar bith níos fusa
3 / 3
Ó dhubh go dubh a rachas tú
Ag damhsa leis an damhsa dubh
Dust
Worlds fall apart
You come out of the void
A wail from the heart of the universe
Welcome, to the black dance
How do you dance a black dance
leap in the dark of night
wild whistles warbling
In your ear?
Look at the dead multiply
Forever dancing
They will dance again
In the middle of the fair
From the red clay of the grave
To the voices of fiddles
The wren sings it’s little tune
The black dance of the dust
How do you dance a black dance
2 / 3
That would wash away your woes
That would drive away the shadows
That gnaw you in the night?
How can you do a black dance
As black as black sloe?
You must leap up from the ashes
On the singsong of bright stars
That’s all the steps you need
For the easiest dance there is
From ashes to ashes
You’ll go dancing with the dust
That’s all you need to know
Nothing is so easy
From dusk till dawn
You’ll go
Dancing
The black dance
Of dust

1.
If all the days
on all of earth
in all of time
reached out their hand
and stroked your brow,
and felt
the sweat on your cheek
tingle now (as it does)
and loved and feared
this face veered
in a rush of light and sound,
as we all are,
as all corporeal life is too –
the ending buried in you
from the first blink –
they couldn’t touch you,
trace you, ache
for love of you
more tenderly than I do.
2.
I stood in the fruit shop,
in the fattening heat,
and I looked around me at
all these bodies,
balancing their chosen weights
invisibly, behind straight faces,
and I thought
of the day you were born –
that streaming out of me –
and what the body
with its blood lion
knows to do,
and I remembered holding you,
your gold crown
between my breasts,
the hint of steam all over you:
this one recently arrived
from the great emptiness.
And I felt the war in this
world, the tearing down
of the big monoliths
of certainty and progress,
and the scorching of the earth-nest
till the children leap across the rails
their tails on fire, and I believed,
standing there
in the rot of melon
and the jam of plum,
that it all comes back to this:
the hand I risk
on your brow this morning,
how it tears me open
like a soft fruit
separating grain from grain,
revealing truth, and pain,
and something-without-name
but close
to bliss.
And this, my friends, and this
is what they’re cutting from us,
with their suits and ties
and slick white smiles,
and two-for-the-price-of-one:
Our tenderness.
Our pain.
3.
If all the years
on all of earth
in all of time
reached out their hand,
and circled back again,
and lived?

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play.
