1386

Daughter of a son of Ireland

If earth be sonned

As spectral as a perambulating Bloom

Though unlettered as the rain

Till parish note another sinner.

Son of a daughter of exile's house

If earth itself exile

Chaste in conflagration

Seared by years

Beyond a fable's solace.

Son of no one

Daughter of herself

Earth they have that never had them

The stones cast single shadows.
