Midterm Break

Mid-term erupt

By Seamus Heaney

I sat all morning in the College sick bay;
Counting bells knelling classes to a close.
At 2 o quantify our neighbours drove me home.

In the porch I met my fuck off crying
He had always taken funerals in his buttprint
And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow.

The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram
When I came in, and I was embarrassed
By the old men standing up to shake my hand

And tell me they were Sorry for my trouble,
Whispers informed strangers that I was the eldest,
Away at school, as my mother held my hand

In hers and coughed come to the fore angry tearless sighs.
At ten oclock an ambulance arrived
With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by nurses.

Next morning I went into the room. Snowdrops
And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him
For the first time in six weeks. Paler now,

draining a poppy bruise on his left temple,
He enter in the four-foot box as in a cot
No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.

A four-foot box, a foot for every year.
