Northern Lights, Clontafleece, Co. Down

Mu had to be up early to get her flight from Dublin to Naples. 

For a girl who, since prepubescence dreamed of nights in Svalbard, got to see the lights on her last night in Ireland. 

In moments of melancholy I always have Seamus in my head;

Lie down in the word hoard
compose in darkness
Expect aurora Borealis
in the long foray
but no cascade of light
