The Ireland poems. Words written near a candle ; Sligo footraces ; Four dancers at an Irish wedding ; Women's tug-of-war at Lough Arrow ; Love poem to be read to an illiterate friend ; Still moment at Dun Laoghiare ; Woman enough ; On your own ; Ever after ; The sky behind it ; As if it happened ; The ritual of memories ; The ballad of Ballymote ; Disappearances in the guarded sector ; Second language ; Open fire near a shed ; Under stars -- Start again somewhere. 3 a.m. kitchen : my father talking ; My mother remembers that she was beautiful ; Harmless streets ; The meeting ; Start again somewhere ; Backdrop with lovers, 1931 ; Counterfeit kisses ; Hybrid ; The same kiss after many years ; If never again ; Your letter is being written without you.
