Dylan Thomas - I Dreamed My Genesis

2014-11-07 233 Dailymotion

I dreamed my genesis in sweat of sleep, breaking <br />Through the rotating shell, strong <br />As motor muscle on the drill, driving <br />Through vision and the girdered nerve. <br /> <br />From limbs that had the measure of the worm, shuffled <br />Off from the creasing flesh, filed <br />Through all the irons in the grass, metal <br />Of suns in the man-melting night. <br /> <br />Heir to the scalding veins that hold love's drop, costly <br />A creature in my bones I <br />Rounded my globe of heritage, journey <br />In bottom gear through night-geared man. <br /> <br />I dreamed my genesis and died again, shrapnel <br />Rammed in the marching heart, hole <br />In the stitched wound and clotted wind, muzzled <br />Death on the mouth that ate the gas. <br /> <br />Sharp in my second death I marked the hills, harvest <br />Of hemlock and the blades, rust <br />My blood upon the tempered dead, forcing <br />My second struggling from the grass. <br /> <br />And power was contagious in my birth, second <br />Rise of the skeleton and <br />Rerobing of the naked ghost. Manhood <br />Spat up from the resuffered pain. <br /> <br />I dreamed my genesis in sweat of death, fallen <br />Twice in the feeding sea, grown <br />Stale of Adam's brine until, vision <br />Of new man strength, I seek the sun.<br /><br />Dylan Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-dreamed-my-genesis/
