ALT 72 ~ The Dark Horse ~ AUTUMN 2019 David Livewell | Three Poems Two Poets at Hopkins’ Grave When Heaney hosted Wilbur, They walked past dappled graves In Glasnevin Cemetery, Where rain pressed autumn leaves On carved parentheses And names. Their pace increased, Joined in a sprung rhythm To praise the poet-priest. At the group plot Heaney’s umbrella tapped a list That wrapped the cross, one name: Gerardus, easily missed. Both told this tale to show How poets intertwine. Imagine their voices merging Reciting a chosen line: Generations have trod, have trod, have trod… In this weather of All Souls, All three can walk again— This time on air—their words Still wet from a fountain pen.
