the tombstone told when she died - dylan thomas lyrics

the tombstone told when she died.
her two surnames stopped me still.
a virgin married at rest.
she married in this pouring place,
that i struck one day by luck,
before i heard in my mother’s side
or saw in the looking-gl-ss sh-ll
the rain through her cold heart speak
and the sun killed in her face.
more the thick stone cannot tell.
before she lay on a stranger’s bed
with a hand plunged through her hair,
or that rainy tongue beat back
through the devilish years and innocent deaths
to the room of a secret child,
among men later i heard it said
she cried her white-dressed limbs were bare
and her red lips were kissed black,
she wept in her pain and made mouths,
talked and tore though her eyes smiled.
i who saw in a hurried film
death and this mad heroine
meet once on a mortal wall
heard her speak through the chipped beak
of the stone bird guarding her:
i died before bedtime came
but my womb was bellowing
and i felt with my bare fall
a blazing red harsh head tear up
and the dear floods of his hair.
