Before all time
began,
I was Odin's eye;
As Osiris I was
swept up by my
sister's sigh;
I was Trickster
dressed as snake,
wound around the tree;
I neither wept nor
spoke when Pilate
murdered me;
I was the song
Ulysses heard,
bound above his prow;
The maidenhood
of space itself I
burst upon my brow. |
|
Now my magic
hunt runs down
the everturning years;
As I stamp
I wash away the universe,
with tears;
My horn is white
as ivory, my gaze
is black as night;
Beneath my hooves
I break love and hate
and wrong and right;
I am deathless,
though the spear is
driven into me;
I am wind and rain
and sun and everything
that is free.
