for Gift 9: Dinosaur — National Museum of Scotland
Like T-Rex
It felt as if it had rained for centuries
Drips fell ding-dong remorseless, over the drowned fields
Drips fell ding-dong remorseless, over the drowned fields
As if summer had been deleted altogether
Even a pope might lose his faith in prayer
The Thinker up his plinth
Was pondering arks and floods
And then, like T-Rex loose in a china shop
And then, like T-Rex loose in a china shop
The sun burst out
Such a big thing
In our tiny world of happenings.
