...och anois múch an choinneal...
(...but now blow out the candle...)

her "No!"
makes the candle flame
shiver

I watch the flame
go...come back to
itself again

now her "No!!
blows the candle out
we in darkness

we in silence
we the darkness
now

I recall her calling me
back but I couldn't go
back to who we were

who we were
is not
who we are now

her "No!!!"
at least now I know
who I am not
