“Love me, love me,” she commands. “It’s my birthday.”
And I do. We make love once, twice, then she shows me the Irish way. Her skin is warm and soft but dry while I’m as wet as an Irish squall. The moon, full of itself— mid August, 2014— comes up and as sleep overcomes us she tells me her name is Kathleen. I say, “Call me Jack.” I dream I’m spiraling— down, down, and down.
In August, first light precedes sunrise by a goodly stretch. We awake and she’s shivering. I give her my hoodie and take our selfie with my camera. As the light evolves, suddenly she jumps up and whispers, “Go home. Go home.” She clambers out of the tent and in a frenzy jumps on her horse. I shoot a photo of her in the saddle and they’re gone. I run after her but they’re too fast. Through the cut in the hillock they head toward the hamlet. I run up the hill. There’s only a riderless horse trotting in the lane. Back in my, tent I look at the photos. A picture of me alone in the shelter, and a lone horse on the beach. I dress, break down camp, and hustle over to the house with the piebald lounging out front.
“No sir,” says the man of the house with his brow furrowed. “No girl living here. And that piebald, came with the place. Knows every furlong in the district. They say a girl lived here long ago. Named Kathleen O’Donnell. Go to Castlegregory two miles west and ask the priest. It’s an old and small parish.”
