lyrics

Meeting Aphra Lee this morning
on a rare visit from Derry to Dublin
to experience the present moment
the fleeting glimpse of Irish summer
We sit in Iveagh Gardens, disconnect from obligations
revel at the kinship and forget our limitations for a while

Meeting Aphra Lee this morning
with a bus to catch this evening
it's another old friend's birthday
it's another promised greeting
To prolong the jilted journey we loop around the station
avoiding any obvious, uncomfortable conversation
A hug becomes a hold, lets the lightning strike our centre
Attuned to the same frequency if not the same adventure

One day we might get back to this
unfinished story quietly missed
soured by its circumstance
awaiting resolution.

No dancing 'round the notion
scared of our devotion
worried it won't go away
until we give we it answer.
