Newgrange, County Meath
Just watch these starlings in the twilight,
thousands of them forming countless patterns,
ink swirling in this glass of evening.
Each bird’s tiny impulses contribute
in magnifying freedom and beauty
to the very edge of limitless space;
the world’s mind twisting and turning
right before our uncomprehending eyes,
hidden in mysterious symbols
deep as those on any ancient monument.
