Dully gaping, foolishly staring, inert
On the flowers of Eden.

Crow laughed.

He bit the Worm, God's only son,

He stuffed into man the tail half
With the wounded end hanging out.

He stuffed the head half headfirst into woman
And it crept in deeper and up

Woman awoke to see him coming.
Neither knew what had happened.

God went on sleeping.

Crow went on laughing.
