Aurora by Raymond A. Foss
Claremont to Durham, regular drive, autopilot Rtes 103, 114, 9, 89, 4 Exit 5, New England College down the road Aurora Borealis that night Below the dome of the stars in the February sky
Pull over to the shoulder Visible breath
Dancing lights, flickering stars
sway to the images Stored on rods and cones Turquoise and ruby red grapefruit Pale canary and pure blue
Froze me for a while Separated from my journey By the light show, the echo of the solar flares
