- Selkie
"I'm not stopping,"
he said, shrugging off his skin
like a wet-suit, then stretching it
on the bodhran's frame,
"let's play."
And he played till dawn:
all the jigs and reels
he knew, before he stood
and drained the last
from his glass, slipped back in
to the seal-skin,
into a new day, saluting us
with that famous grin:
"That's me away."
