Basil Ede

Kestrel



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 sophistry is tearing off heads.

Ted Hughes
