Féin-Fhìreantachd

Selfrighteousness |
Chan iarr iad orm ach
gal aithreachais peacaidh
nach buin dhomh
's gum faigh mi saorsa
fhiuadan nach tuig mi:
ludaradh ann an uisge
an déidh uisge tana, guinteach
am feallsanachd -
agus gun amharas chrochadh iad
an nigheadaireachd anns na nèamhan.
Dòmhnall MacAmhlaigh

They ask of me only
to weep repentance for a sin
that does not concern me
and I shall get in return an alien
freedom I don't understand:
to be drubbed in one thin,
wounding water after another
of their philosophy -
and confidently they would hang
their washing in the heavens.
Donald MacAulay |
