After The Flood |
| Continuing the story, humanity stumbles-- |
| gone is the glory, there’s a far distant rumble. |
| The clouds have gathered and exploded now: |
| axes shattered, there is no North or South! |
| Far off, the ice is foundering slowly… |
| the ice is turning to water. |
| The wa ter rushes over all, |
| cities crash in the mighty wave; |
| the final man is very small, |
| plunging in for his final bathe. |
| This is the ending of the beginning… |
| this is the beginning of the end, |
| middle of the middle, mid-point, end and start: |
| the first peak rises, forces the waves apart. |
| Far off, the ice is now re-forming: |
| poles are fixed once more, |
| water’s receding, like death-blood. |
| And when the water falls again, |
| all is dead and nobody lives. |
| And then he said: |
| 'Every step appears to be the unavoidable consequence of the |
| preceding one, and in the end there beckons more and more |
| clearly total annihilation!' |
| This is the ending of the beginning… |
| this, the beginning of the end. |
| And when the water falls again |
| all is dead and nobody lives… |
