She crept into the bottom of the boat

and wanted to sleep and could not.

He made her drink water, fresh from the well

and she thought how it had come from Ireland.

She saw her sisters laughing on a hillside,

and her head filled with colours and new light.

All at once she realised that the sea had changed;

she struggled up and looked at the low sun’s eye,

glowing through cloud, as they passed a shore

where rocks glinted and there were birds shining,

slowly flapping on ahead and vanishing.

She glanced up and he was watching her;

she felt the tenderness of his eyes, and somehow

the brokenness of her face smiled, and he nodded

glad and exhausted.
