Mother of the Groom (Seamus Heaney)
What she remembers
Is his glistening back
In the bath, his small boots
In the ring of boots at her feet.
Hands in her voided lap,
She hears a daughter welcomed.
It's as if he kicked when lifted
And slipped her soapy hold.
Once soap would ease off
The wedding ring
That's bedded forever now
In her clapping hand.
