TREE

for Ted Hughes

In the beginning was Hush
Who begat Flesh
Who begat Face
Who begat Awe
Who begat Claw
Who begat Stone
Who begat Steel
Who begat Crimson
Who begat TV
Who begat Shit
Who begat Man
Who begat Rat
Who begat God
Who begat Nothing
Who begat Always
Who begat Ever
Ever Ever Always
Who begat FLY
Buzzing for meat
Worms, crumbs, anything
Humming skinless wings
In the womb's crust
