I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed.
Inaction, no falsifying dream
Between my hooked head and hooked feet:
Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat.
The convenience of the high trees!
The air's buoyancy and the sun's ray
Are of advantage to me;
And the earth's face upward for my inspection.
My feet are locked upon the rough bark.
It took the whole of Creation
To produce my foot, my each feather:
Now I hold creation in my foot
Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly -
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
my manners are tearing off heads -
The allotment of death.
For the one path of my flight is direct
Through the bones of the living.
No arguments assert my right:
The sun is behind me.
Nothing has changed since I began.
My eye has permitted no change.
I am going to keep things like this.

Runner
A thumbs-up
On entering the bend
If you were to know
Quite how much this meant
You'd run another 800 metres
Without a single breath

Bechemal
All you ever gave me
Was the know-how
To make a good bechemal sauce
Once I believed
We’d create a whole lot more
But now I think about it
Cheese sauce is about right
The colour matches your collar not your cuffs
And it was, after all
Quite simple

Knowledge
I know.
I know.
I know.
And I know that too
Please
Say something to excite me
Interest me ignite me
Say a word I don't
Agree with
Shake between my teeth
And enjoy being with
I know
I know
I really do know
The reason that I'm silent
Is that I don't know what to say
You bore me
Ignore me
Please just go away leave me
With the knowledge that I've got
It's a lot
More interesting than anything
I've ever heard you say
I know.
I know.
And I know that too
Please
Say something to excite me
Interest me ignite me
Say a word I don't

Shake between my teeth
And enjoy being with
I know

The reason that I'm silent

Ignore me
Please just go away leave me

More interesting than anything
