| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes her experiences as a migrant in Ireland, as well as the unspoken connection between different immigrants, whom she notices on Grafton Street, 'wondering if they could tell I was one of them'. The sense of the speaker's displacement is apparent in the poem, especially as she watches the ducks on the pond - she becomes a duck, and her child a duckling - swimming in synchrony with the other ducks, they are at home, speaking the same language. |
