Who begat Nothing
Who begat Never

Who begat Crow
Screaming for Blood
Grubs, crusts
Anything
Trembling featherless elbows in the nest's filth

'The child is father to the man.

'The child is father to the man.
'

'The man is father to the child.
'
'The child is father to the man!'
How can he be? The words are wild.
