.       What Would Heaney Say?

                           πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ
                            
        I say, say, because if he was

      there witnessing this Holocaust

     in dust, his nib would be clogged,

       just as tears welled up behind

                 dammed eyelids,

            (permanently blinked)

   So how could he write, even, if the

   pen’s ink was flowing through one

        of his metaphorical arteries,

                        severed!
