For David the Gnome and Seamus Heaney (Living In the Dark of Night)

In a building not concrete of origin

Near a forest we used to forage in

 

In the village we muck and wander

Towards the river over yonder

 

On the isle of sacred Avalon

There was new ground to tread upon

 

Amidst the brier, bog and heath

Among the thistle, needles and oak leaf

 

Round the timber fire we sang

Of lady luck’s mercy and lady love’s pain

 

We drank a drink of potent potables

Phrases spoken few of which notable

 

From the lambs leg we feasted

While the mystic death we cheated

 

Nights never ending and those yet experienced

We roam them on and on, ever-delirious
