Ted Hughes - Earth-MoonTed Hughes - Earth-Moon
Work rating: Low


Once upon a time there was a person He was walking along He met the full burning moon Rolling slowly twoards him Crushing the stones and houses by the wayside. She shut his eyes from the glare. He drew his dagger And stabbed and stabbed and stabbed. The cry that quit the moon`s wounds Circled the earth. The moon shrank, like a punctured airship, Shrank, shrank, smaller, smaller, Till it was nothing But a silk handkerchief, torn, And wet as tears. The person picked it up. He walked on Into moonless night Carrying his strange trophy.
