Dylan Thomas


from VISION AND PRAYER


i

 

W h o
A r e  y o u
Who   is   born
In   the   next   room
So   loud    to   my   own
That  I  can  hear  the  womb
Opening   and    the    dark   run
Over the ghost and the dropped son
Behind  the  wall  thin as a wren’s bone ?
In  the  birth  bloody  room  unknown
To  the  burn  and  turn  of  time
And  the  heart  print  of  man
Bo w s   n o   b a p t i s m
  Bu t   d a r k   a l o n e  
   Blessing       on    
The  wild
Child.
