(from the Gaelic)
You are folded up
among waves greater than wings
it is cold here
Created from breath
three wraiths of the wind
shaped your form
I searched for you
amid the rumour of rocks
while guillemots dipped their heads beneath the waves
We can never know
what Fate intends
but the choice will be just
