Crow and the Seaย 

Ted Hughes


He tried ignoring the seaย 

But it was bigger than death, just as it was bigger than life.ย 


He tried talking to the seaย 

But his brain shuttered and his eyes winced from it as from open flame.ย 


He tried sympathy for the seaย 

But it shouldered him off - as a dead thing shoulders you off.ย 


He tried hating the seaย 

But instantly felt like a scrutty dry rabbit-dropping on the windy cliff.ย 


He tried just being in the same world as the seaย 

But his lungs were not deep enoughย 


And his cheery blood banged off itย 

Like a water-drop off a hot stove.ย 


Finallyย 


He turned his back and he marched away from the seaย 


As a crucified man cannot move.ย
