There's been a lot of frost recently, it is January after all. But seeing two rainbows on either end of the bay the other day brought an expected touch of frost.
Two Rainbows
Two rainbows, miles apart, glimmered
above the steel-coloured bay. I stood
watching them, straight sided stubs just,
equal in size but gauzy, one as faint as the other,
both on the point of disappearing.
I waited for that moment, but, instead, they
grew by degrees, spectral pillars, curved
and high in the graphite heavens converged;
a Romanesque arch soaring, spanning
the length of Donegal Bay, magnificent;
in that moment a difference was erased.
