Storm on the island

• We are prepared
• Stormont is in Northern Ireland
• This wizened earth
• When it blows full Blast you know what I mean - leaves and branches can raise a chorus in a gale
• Leaves and branches can raise a chorus in a gale
• You might think that the sea is company exploding comfortably down on the cliffs
• Space is a salvo
• Strange it is a huge nothing that we fear
• We are gonna red by the empty air
• Spits like a tame cat turned savage
• The wizened earth has never troubled us with hay
• By Seamus heaney
• Wind dives and strafes invisibly
