CROW BLACKER THAN EVER

Ted Hughes

When God, disgusted with man,

Turned towards heaven,

And man, disgusted with God,

Turned towards Eve,

Things looked like falling apart.

But Crow Crow

Crow nailed them together,

Nailing heaven and earth together --

So man cried, but with God's voice.

And God bled, but with man's blood.

Then heaven and earth creaked at the joint

Which became gangrenous and stank --

A horror beyond redemption.

The agony did not diminish.

Man could not be man nor God God.

The agony

Grew.

Crow

Grinned

Crying: "This is my Creation,"

Flying the black flag of himself.
