I Love You, I'm Glad I Exist (On The Verge 2025)

About I Love You, I’m Glad I Exist

“The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass,
Came dazzling around, into the rocks,
Came glinting, sifting from the Americas

To possess Aran. Or did Aran rush
to throw wide arms of rock around a tide
That yielded with an ebb, with a soft crash?

Did sea define the land or land the sea?
Each drew new meaning from the waves’ collision.
Sea broke on land to full identity.”

— Lovers on Aran, Seamus Heaney
