Frafochoileán Mór is a small islet in County Galway. The name sounds like a chant half-remembered, and the place may have been no larger than a stone circle seen from a boat. If people lived there, they lived with the sea inside their doors and the sky overhead like a roof. What is left is a dot on the water, but the dot still resists forgetting.
