What is recorded here
Frank O'Rourke is a birthplace in County Sligo, Ireland. Perhaps the rain there fell hard enough to wash away every memory but the shape of the boy who left it behind. Maybe the fields still hold the footprint of a child running toward politics, though no stone marks the path. Imagine the county breathing through his lungs long after he stopped being young.
