Seamus Heaney died today Fred just told me.
that leaves very few of his caliber.
attached an anatomical study
as a sign of respect.
the drawing was on the desktop
when Fred brought me the sad news.
I have mailed you the ‘stone from delphi’
which really sums up the poet and man.
small precious stone
from Heaney’s ‘station island’
a day of mourning for eire
– Gerard Bellaart
