the Pigeon House.

and awaken in a bright room with a blue and white sky outside the windows of the nineteenth century manor house.
A big bright room, the son is on the other side of the bed, white sheets.
And sleep had been deep and undisturbed.
Look out , there is Howth and the Pigeon House.
Think of Joyce, and Anna Livia.
Think
The shutters for the window are white, there is a golf course beyond the field.
And the carpet is beige, it is all in good taste.

Germany of the railway stations and the trains is far away now

The son asleep in his bed

Look around
Ireland again, as in every Easter, all are asleep.
All but one

The bathroom is occupied.
