​Echo's Bones, Music by David Edgar Walther
​poems by Samuel Beckett
Picture
Samuel Beckett, poet
1. The Vulture: 
​
dragging his hunger through the sky of my skull
Shell of sky and earth stooping to the prone
​who must soon take up their life and walk
mocked by a tissue that may not serve
​til hunger earth and sky be offal*


*internal organs used as food 
​2. Echo's Bones: 
Asylum under my tread all this day
their muffled revels as the flesh falls
​breaking without fear of favour wind
the gantelope* of sense and nonsense run
​taken by the maggots for what they are

* gauntlet; challenge 
​

3. Da Tagte Es: ("there it met")
​
redeem the surrogate good byes
the sheet a stream in your hand
who gave no more for the land
​than the glass unmisted above your eyes
4. The Vulture: dragging his hunger through the sky of my skull
Shell of sky and earth stooping to the prone
who must soon take up your life and walk
mocked by a tissue that may not serve
​til hunger earth and sky be offal
