DUN LAOGHAIRE
A doorway in Dun Laoghaire
sharing a takeaway
only one night left
ferry sailing next day.
Searching for the craic
a guy smiled and pointed
to the edge of town
asked, ‘Am I included?’
Audible from afar
mandolin, banjo, guitar,
songs of rebellion
in a room above a bar.
Porter and whiskey
fueling imagination
farewell emerald island
of magic and sensation.
Halfway back
homeward bound
heads spinning
aching for firm ground.
