Slieve bends up the mountain we drove br through clouds and beyond all reason. br The air is thinner up here, my head br is lighter while my belly sinks away. br Looking from a tower at the centre br of the world across volcanic valleys br - fecund, alive. My spirits rise up, soar br out of me. Dive headlong down the slope, br glide the plateau, return. I am breathless br at altitude but my soul fills the world.
