Cee
The light that once left you
Is still travelling
Long after your core has collapsed
And your planets are cinders
Somewhere
On the knife edge of a sphere
Someone sees you laugh
Paddy Kelly
Paddy Kelly was born in Ireland and narrowly avoided being a
farmer. A romantic accident moved him to Sweden where he remains to this day,
now a huge fan of standing in line, wind-driven snow and fermented fish. He’s
had fiction and non-fiction published in several newspapers and magazines, from
Ireland's Own to Analog Science Fiction. Paddy dances Lindy Hop and Belly Dance
and has, on several occasions, had his arm all the way inside a cow.
