At Kilmiddlefern.
We're in Argyll now.
Some of you will know the folk singer Annie Briggs.
Basho's old recluse called Tosai at Fuku
is our Annie Briggs at Kilmiddlefern.
His yugao, hechima, keito, and hahakigi, her sunflowers,
bugloss, weld, and gourds.
Annie told us how his piping so lost her,
that when he asked her name, she was beyond knowing
she'd ever had one.
But she knew to reply, Willie Clancy, let me sing you a song.
Then I will find my name.
