Oἰδίπoυς ἐπὶ Κολωνῷ / Oidipous epi Kolōnōi

A naked bird-king with Irish blues

rose up to be Y Dryw the Joiners son

He stacked the sea to green jade through tidal tongues

and fixed obsidian to nocturne's pitch-pine gum

He hewed his sylvan dwellers hearth

with a Stone cutters bile down a pit prop shaft.

Up, up into the daylight

She gave birth on Primrose Hill

For a Tall Jar full of Charcoal lilies and

golden pills, these were for the chorus sung

In the Sun, coming South to sit upon

Carn Coney Hill with Bumble Bee songs

Where one and one did become

A tree on the un-forested Mountain.
