Seasons in Upper Turkeyfoot
Rural in Nature, Transcendental in Temperament

Postscript
You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at you sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.
Last lines from "Postcript,"
by Seamus Heaney,
who died today.
