Nuair atá gach uile ní ag titim, ag teip,
an domhan ag tiontú ina mhóta dorcha,
ag maothú faoi chosa,
cuimhnigh
go gcanfaidh duilleog dheiridh
an chrainn
sa ghairdín
scol an loin
má chuireann tú cluas le héisteacht ort.
Folaítear ceol
faoi sciatháin gheimhridh áit nach bhfeicfí é.

Doireann is also author of six critically-acclaimed books of poetry, each a deepening exploration of birth, death, desire, and domesticity. Awards for her writing include a Lannan Literary Fellowship (USA), the Ostana Prize (Italy), a Seamus Heaney Fellowship (Queen’s University), and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, among others.
