What is recorded here

Mnemo records a burial in Bunnasillagh, County Galway, but no visible marker or detailed account survives. The dead may have lain beneath ordinary grass, forgotten by the living who walked past them. What is missing is not a failure of record keeping. It is a reminder that most human life ends without praise, and the earth keeps what pride refuses to admit.
