He's delving into seams of memory-
He shows me what he finds -
There's a page from an old notebook, a box of Irish matches -
He wrote his words on that page whilst a soft rain fell on Dursey Island -
Those matches lit a turf fire in the small cottage under the mountains -
That's a poor fire Bernie o'Shea had said -
I still have the tweed jacket I was wearing in the photograph -
The next parish was in America -
