What is recorded here

Kinvarra Castle stands in County Galway, but the official record withholds its shape, leaving only a gap where memory should be. The absence is not empty; it is a chamber waiting for a witness. To enter the chamber is to stop demanding that the world be complete. The castle is finishing the claimant, not the other way around.
