Digging<\/h1>\n

von\u00a0SEAMUS HEANEY<\/p>\n

Between my finger and my thumb<\/div>\n
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.<\/div>\n
Under my window, a clean rasping sound<\/div>\n
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:<\/div>\n
My father, digging. I look down<\/div>\n
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds<\/div>\n
Bends low, comes up twenty years away<\/div>\n
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills<\/div>\n
Where he was digging.<\/div>\n
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft<\/div>\n
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.<\/div>\n
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep<\/div>\n
To scatter new potatoes that we picked,<\/div>\n
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.<\/div>\n
By God, the old man could handle a spade.<\/div>\n
Just like his old man.<\/div>\n
My grandfather cut more turf in a day<\/div>\n
Than any other man on Toner\u2019s bog.<\/div>\n
Once I carried him milk in a bottle<\/div>\n
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up<\/div>\n
To drink it, then fell to right away<\/div>\n
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods<\/div>\n
Over his shoulder, going down and down<\/div>\n
For the good turf. Digging.<\/div>\n
The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap<\/div>\n
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge<\/div>\n
Through living roots awaken in my head.<\/div>\n
But I\u2019ve no spade to follow men like them.<\/div>\n
Between my finger and my thumb<\/div>\n
The squat pen rests.<\/div>\n
I\u2019ll dig with it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
