Am gaeth i m-muir. Am tond trethan. Am fuaim mara. Low tone. Slow throat. Stone under speech. Dust-hush. No rush. Wood and wire, small fire. Light bites the black. Salt in the vowels, shore without name. Mist in the mouth. Steps that don’t land. A thought like a railing, cold in the hand. No words - weight. No verse - nerve. The sea answers back, then curves. Calendar folds - cold. Compass slips - old. We trade weight for distance, quiet, witnessless. Am fuaim mara. Hold the chord, hold it open. Hold the chord, hold it open. Hold the word, don’t over-say it. Hold the word, just let it stay. Carry me, low and slowly. Carry me, low and slowly. Wave by wave, through quiet water. Undertone, under all. Am gaeth i m-muir. Am tond trethan. Am fuaim mara. Fruit that won’t bruise. Truth you can’t use. Time refolds - older, crease into border. White wings in the ink, swans where verbs should sink. A shore that isn’t place, a year without a face. Under the wave, the land keeps its language - out of reach. Breath in the frame. Fire without flame. We lean into silence, and silence leans back. Am gaeth i m-muir. Hold the chord, keep it steady. Hold the chord, keep it steady. Hold the line, fine and thinning. Hold the line, still ringing. Carry me, near and clear. Carry me, near and clear. Wave by wave, the dark grows ready. Undertone, under all. Am tond trethan. Am fuaim mara. Messe Bran mac Febail. Messe - less than "I". Mac - passed by, close by. Name on the wind, thin, then thinned. No drop. No flare. Just slow turn in the air. A gate learns weight without debate. Am fuaim mara. Hold the chord, hold it open. Hold the chord, hold it open. Hold the chord, hold it open. Till the stone turns spoken. Hold the word, don’t over-say it. Hold the word, just let it stay. Hold the word, don’t over-say it. Let the light remain that way. Carry me, low and slowly. Carry me, low and slowly. Wave by wave, through quiet water. Undertone, under all. Am gaeth i m-muir. Am tond trethan. Am fuaim mara. Same tone. Stone-tone. Hush - held. The wave withdraws. The chord stays. ========================== Am gaeth i m-muir ≈ "I am wind on sea" Am tond trethan ≈ "I am the surging wave" Am fuaim mara ≈ "I am the sound/roar of the sea" Messe Bran mac Febail ≈ "I am Bran, son of Febail"
