"Follower" by Seamus Heanley
My father worked with a horse-plough,
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horses strained at his clicking tongue.
An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking.
At the headrig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land. His eye
Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.
I stumbled in his hobnailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I wanted to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow round the farm.
I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away

Wow😳. Ever tried hypnotizing people? I think I just figured out why you’ve been so successful. (Besides your obvious talent of course). I would like to try your wine. Is it sold here in the UK or in the states ? Due to family reasons I live and travel to both. Would love to try a new wine considering you seem to have the ingredient that makes most things tasty. Passion.

[@p-isforpoetry]

Mr. Neill: “If looks could kill!” Wow. May I suggest you pet the cat with whom you are evidently sharing a domicile wherever that may be? (Australia?) All you need is to wear a mask (!) over mouth and nose and a pair of sunglasses. You pet the cat - contrary to popular understanding, cats need attention; it’s dogs who are fine in their own world -and then wash your hands (!) ...”For twenty seconds.” Also: women in particular, sorry to be sexist, really appreciate reassurance: hearing (reading), “Don’t be afraid, don’t be anxious, it will be all right...” even if we know that life on the precious green/ blue/ white planet, unique in all the known universe, seems to be irrevocably FUBAR. Tu tho. Much appreciated. Cat/dog/pig/bird/spider/ mouse/ mule/ all-animal lover/Signed, a brave woman
