Aluine's Gardens
Before the house
Behind the sea,
a garden.
Before the mountain
Behind the house,
a circuit of trees.
Before the house
Behind the sea,
a strip of mown lawn
enclosed with varieties of bees.
Before the Mountain
Behind the house,
rows of alders
a circuit make.
Before the house
Behind the sea,
a wild field conceals a blooming garden.
Before the mountain
Behind the house,
a sheltered bench upon which
shadows play.
Before the house
Behind the grass rolling down to rocky beach,
a mown strip with flowers
and bees.
Before the mountain
Behind the house,
a mazed world to read.
Before the house and
the grass rolling to rocky shore,

Aluine's Gardens (II draft)
Before the house
behind the sea,
a garden.
Before the Mountain
behind the house,
a circuit of trees.
Before the small house
behind the grey sea,
a strip of mown lawn enclosed with box.
Before the tall mountain
behind these six white walls of house,
rows of young alders a circuit make.
Before the house of three steps up
behind the rocky strand down to the beach,
a wild field conceals her garden's bloom.
Before the purple Reek
behind the house surrounded by fields,
a sheltered bench within a circuit of trees.
II.
Before that shadow the Reek casts onto green fields
behind the grass rolling and tumbling to rocky beach,
the lawn encloses varieties of bees.
Before Croagh Patrick
beyond the flatroof of the house,
a mazed world wherein shadows flit.
Before the house where grass tumbles to rocky shore
behind the sound where gather gulls,
a small ingress, a light step to rose's bloom, lawn of green.
