  3. “There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire –
    And I’m suddenly a kid,
    Asking where from here to Sandycove
    My youngest sister hid.
    I’m fourteen this Easter.
    My job to mind her.
    Good Friday on the pier –
    And I suddenly can’t find her.

    The sky like a bruise
    By the lighthouse wall.
    We were playing hide-and-seek.
    Is she lost? Did she fall?
    There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire
    And the terror’s like a wave
    Breaking hard on a hull,
    And the peoples’ faces grave”
