Butcher's Dozen - A Poem by Thomas Kinsella

Above is the well known poem Butcher's Dozen. It is written by the Poet Thomas Kinsella. It was written in 1972 about Bloody Sunday. It takes place a month after Bloody Sunday and the man is walking through where the event happened. He sees ghosts of all the people that died and raw red corpses coming out from their graves. He notices the dead are holding their wounds as if they are still in pain.  He communicates with them and listens to their experience on that horrible day. He listens to them talk about being dead and how they would do it all over again.
