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.

Ted Hughes

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 manners are tearing off heads –
The allotment of death.

Ted Hughes
