 on a photograph of Seamus Heaney's grave


the gravel words

white above that dark realm

the deep brogue of the trees’ bark

defiles the grey marble

the smoothing of this visage of death

but here lies a poet

who’s epigraph does not confer

that singular right to voice contrary views

dying does deny or defy a voice
