HEANEY (MAY HE REST) HAD THE BEST LAST WORDS

whose passport was green

and dug hard the sacred ground

of all our living

but with a pen instead of a plow


what better words could this master

of direct illumination of this world

with the most straight forward of music

gave as farewell but to text his wife

moments before he disappeared into the dark


telling her noli timere...


don't be afraid...
