Gaeltacht College - Memories in a Can

A smell evoking memories of when we were young and free to roam the country side, smoking cigarettes and firing catapults at tractors was re introduced to me over this weekend thanks to the beautiful Claireban. All all these amazing reminders from my summer in Irish College in the Gaeltacht. Memories of my first kiss and what drama was created with the smallest of problems, all came flooding back. Teaching each other how to faint and running down to the chipper after the Bean An Ti (lady of the house) cooked us a standard dinner of Chicken, baked beans, veg and potatoes, I think the Gaeltacht was where I first got punched too. We were Ferrel and excited to be amongst new people. I fell in love and quickly forgot. Until now, Thank you Claireban for my can of Linx Africa, who would have known all that was in there.

Claireban, You Are Gospel, You Are An Insperation.

A Love Letter to Ireland - by Claireban

Beautiful Claireban, thank you for reminding me of my mother.

(Co Wicklow - Niall O'Brien)

A love letter to Ireland

IRELAND
IRELAND
GOD
I MISS YOU
i miss you
I miss you
I miss you blowing in my hair
whispering in my ear
confusing me
I miss lying in your fields
swimming in your seas
smelling you
smelling of you
i want to inhale your gorse
Kneel in your churches
Perv on your knackers
I miss your men
God i miss your men
I miss your tracksuits
your nike airmax
your women
your mackerel
your humor
you camouflaged me
you illuminated me
you gave me this skin
Ireland your in me
your my name
your my great strong roots
the blaze in my hair
my voice
my accent
my prayers
my curses
my wilderness
my WILDNESS
your my conscience
my family
my freckles
my fire
You Mothered me
Fathered me
Your the most beautiful land I've ever seen
I dream of you
I love you
I love you
I love you

see you soon

Claireban
