gog - ted hughes lyrics lyrics

Loading...

i woke to a shout: ‘i am alpha and omega!’
rocks and a few trees trembled
deep in their own country
i ran and an absence bounded beside me

the dog’s god is a scr+p dropped from the table
the mouse’s savior is a ripe wheat grain—
hearing the messiah cry
my mouth widens in adoration

how far are the mosses!
they cushion themselves on the silence
the dust, too, is replete
the air wants for nothing

what was my error? my skull has sealed it out
my great bones are massed in me
they beat on the earth, my song excites them
i do not look at the rocks and trees, i am frightened of what they see

i listen to the song jarring my mouth
where the skull+rooted t++th are in possession
i am massive on earth. my feetbones beat on the earth
over the sound of motherly weeping….

afterwards, i drink at a pool quietly
the horizons bear the rocks and trees away into twilight
i lie down, i become darkness—
darkness that all night sings and circles stamping
