What is recorded here

Water rises through Ballygown East Spring in County Cork, carrying heat and pressure from darkness below. The cave hides beneath ordinary ground, feeding the surface without warning or permission. People may have drank from it, feared it, or forgotten it entirely. What is known is that the earth still breathes there, and the water remembers the shape of the hole it escaped.
