Twice Shy
Her scarf a la Bardot,
In suede flats for the walk,
She came with me one evening
For air and friendly talk.
We crossed the quiet river,
Took the embankment walk.
Traffic holding its breath,
Sky a tense diaphragm:
Dusk hung like a backcloth
That shook where a swan swam,
Tremulous as a hawk
Hanging deadly, calm.
A vacuum of need
Collapsed each hunting heart
But tremulously we held
As hawk and prey apart,
Preserved classic decorum,
Deployed our talk with art.
Our Juvenilia
Had taught us both to wait,
Not to publish feeling
And regret it all too late -
Mushroom loves already
Had puffed and burst in hate.
So, chary and excited,
As a thrush linked on a hawk,
We thrilled to the March twilight
With nervous childish talk:
Still waters running deep
Along the embankment walk.
Seamus Heaney

The Skunk
Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
At a funeral Mass, the skunk‘s tail
Paraded the skunk. Night after night
I expected her like a visitor. The refrigerator whinnied into silence.
My desk light softened beyond the verandah.
Small oranges loomed in the orange tree.
I began to be tense as a voyeur. After eleven years I was composing
Love-letters again, broaching the word ‘wife’
Like a stored cask, as if its slender vowel
Had mutated into the night earth and air Of California. The beautiful, useless
Tang of eucalyptus spelt your absence.
The aftermath of a mouthful of wine
Was like inhaling you off a cold pillow. And there she was, the intent and glamorous,
Ordinary, mysterious skunk,
Mythologized, demythologized,
Snuffing the boards five feet beyond me. It all came back to me last night, stirred
By the sootfall of your things at bedtime,
Your head-down, tail-up hunt in a bottom drawer
For the black plunge-line nightdress. —from Field Work (1979) |

"Wonder if i should recite one of my poems,,,mmm perhaps not,,,  "
There was a young man named _omcatty
And most of us thought he was batty
His head it was big
And he sported a wig
'Cos his hair it was really quite tatty
How's that for you?  |

We'll probably just reserve it for people who were just that little bit extra special. We probably won't have another one of these until your depart this world, because you are undoubtedly a bit special |

If you feel like it, just do it tom. If you feel it's disrespectful, feel free to voice your opinion. That's what a forum is all about. |

I thought it is a very nice gesture to mention the passing of greatness.
Having said that, and observing the man himself from a distance, I think he would have a bit of a chuckle that his words could spread so far as a swingers site, and a second chuckle that it being an irish swingers site, the thread would immediately break into a row!
