South Wicklow in wintertime
Road between Woodenbridge and Avoca magical in the snow Red kites like pinioned hieroglyphs gliding in antient triumph by peerless cliffs Fog like liquid fills up the dips, out from which flit bats and linnets in Spring O’er mine-pocked hills, where once Wicklow miners traced shim’ring rilles As grille and grid the moon’s half-hid facade…

Result
Gothic space, place with gables and gargoyles Facing an icy lake some jilted bride died in in Victorian times Nowhere you can take me that I won’t speak plainly, be me, like Margoyles Everyday changing what my goal is, notoriously flighty though Praetorian might smite you with my gladius while I’m smiling, belly to spine…
