What way is the boy's body described In the poem midterm break by seamus heaney?

I presume by "the boy" you mean Heaneys little brother Christopher, who was killed when he was 4 (and Seamus was about 12) and is written about in mid-term break. Heaney first describes the body as "the corpse" showing he did not see it as his brother, just the flesh. This could show that he could not accept his brothers death, or he did not know him well enough o be more personal. He ten talks about Chris in is coffin. Chris is "wearing a poppy bruise" which implies he can take it off, and is not part of him. Heaney then has a final one line stanza, which is on its own to draw attention to it, which emphasises he youth of the boy, which shows how much that affected him.
