Her et par extra, til det andet ben – ligevægt må der være, så øjnene ikke halter:
’Had I not been awake’
Had I not been awake I would have missed it,
A wind that rose and whirled until the roof
Pattered with quick leaves off the sycamore
And got me up, the hole of me a-patter,
Alive and ticking like an electric fence:
Had I not been awake I would have missed it,
It came and went so unexpectedly
And almost it seemed dangerously,
Returning like an animal to the house,
A courier blast that there and then
Lapsed ordinary, But not ever
After. And not now.

Human Chain
for Terence Brown
Seeing the bags af meal passed hand to hand
In close-up by the aids workers, and soldiers
Firing over the mob, I was braced again
With a grip of two sack corners,
Two packed wads of grain I’d worked to lugs
To give me purchase, ready for the heave –
The eye-to-eye, one-two, one-two upswing
On to the trailer, then to stoop and drag and drain
Of the next lift. Nothing surpassed
That quick unburdening, backbreak’s truest payback,
A letting go which will not come again.
Or it will, once. And for all.
- Seamus Heaney.
