david ray - the greatest poem in the world lyrics
once, in crete
i was asleep near the sea
the room was cold
and i woke with the greatest poem
ever about to be written in my head
i heard waters running under stone
searched for a light, searched
for a fire, nothing
shivering, i wrote the poem
on the sheet, in the dark
it was a great poem
and first thing in the morning
to celebrate
i ran out and took a swim
it was marvelous to have written
the greatest poem in the world
it summed up everything
on the way back from the sea’s
great reward and kiss of me
i saw the women
doing laundry in a huge boiling
pot, three women. they had already
washed away the greatest poem in the world
with their greatest pot in the world
and i hadn’t memorized it
the sea had taken it
and i stood weeping in the smoke
wind hitting the caverns in my head
