What sound was that?
I turn away, into the shaking room.
...
The three whales of Aran
Humped in the sun's teeth,
...
The three whales of Aran
Humped in the sun's teeth,
Make tough bargain with the cuff
...
It is the dead of night,
The long dead look out towards
The new dead
...
And after noon the well-dressed creatures come
To sniff among the dead
And have their lunch
...
I felt soft fingers at my throat
It seemed someone was strangling me
The lips were hard as they were sweet
...
God looked into his secret heart
to find a word
To bless the living throng below.
