HEANEY
SHIFTING
BRILLIANCES
Shifting brilliancies. Then
winter light
In a doorway, and on the stone doorstep
A beggar shivering in silhouette.
In a doorway, and on the stone doorstep
A beggar shivering in silhouette.
So the particular judgement
might be set:
Bare wallstead and a cold hearth rained into–
Bright puddle where the soul-free cloud-life roams.
Bare wallstead and a cold hearth rained into–
Bright puddle where the soul-free cloud-life roams.
And after the commanded
journey, what?
Nothing magnificent, nothing unknown.
A gazing out from far away, alone.
Nothing magnificent, nothing unknown.
A gazing out from far away, alone.
And it is not particular at
all,
Just old truth dawning: there is no next-time-round.
Unroofed scope. Knowledge-freshening wind.
