For N.D.L. who made the miracles happen,
Epigraph
… what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’
Luke 15:8–9

Ireland
Summer and Autumn
I want to learn about magic
In the darkness, Brida could
It was light when she woke
In the centre of Dublin
The old building was in the centre
For a whole week
She chose a fairly inexpensive restaurant
It’s no good, I can’t do it
It was a trick
I want to ask something else
By around mid-afternoon
Wicca knelt down and looked
She woke with water dripping
Talbo came closer
For a whole week
That night, she had a beautiful dream
She walked for some time
It was so good to have Brida
The Magus lived a little way
Winter and Spring
Over the next two months
Wicca continued to teach Brida
It was quite late on in the year
Brida continued to perform
When they met again
I came to apologise
They walked to a place
She sat distractedly watching
On Saturday morning, Lorens phoned
The following day, she phoned Wicca
They went to one of Dublin’s
That night, Brida spent hours
Thank you for accepting
The Magus was looking
You haven’t asked me anything
They continued walking
The sunlight poured into
Brida went up the steps
The day was overcast
The Magus went out to see
Wicca was pleased because
Brida was surprised by
Wicca certainly knows how
The Magus spotted someone
