Coiscéimeanna Deiridh Robert Walser

Coiscéimeanna Deiridh Robert Walser

(do M.A.)



Sin iad na coiscéimeanna deiridh
sa sneachta aige
sular tháinig na póilíní air.
Cén fáth arb iad na póilíní i gcónaí é?
Cén fáth nár tháinig réinfhia air?
Lá Nollag ab ea é tar éis an tsaoil.


The Last Footsteps of Robert Walser

(for M.A.)



Those are his last footsteps
in the snow
before the police discovered him.
Why is it always the police?
Why didn't a reindeer find him?
After all, it was Christmas Day.
