from The History of the Flood
So they came in two by two,
The elephant, the kangaroo,
And the gnu,
And the little tiny shrew.
Then the birds
Flocked in like wingèd words:
Two racket-tailed motmots, two macaws,
Two nuthatches and two
Little bright robins.
And the reptiles: the gila monster, the slow-worm,
The green mamba, the cottonmouth and the alligator –
All squirmed in;
And after a very lengthy walk,
Two giant Galapagos tortoises.
And the insects in their hierarchies:
A queen ant, a king ant, a queen wasp, a king wasp,
A queen bee, a king bee,
And all the beetles, bugs, and mosquitoes,
Cascaded in like glittering, murmurous jewels.
But the fish had their wish;
For the rain came down.
People began to drown:
The wicked, the rich –
They gasped out bubbles of pure gold,
Which exhalations
Rose to the constellations.
So for forty day and forty nights
They were on the waste of waters
In those cramped quarters.
It was very dark, damp and lonely.
There was nothing to see, but only
The rain which continued to drop.
It did not stop.
– John Heath-Stubbs (1959)
