A procession of white heads left by him arrow-pierced;
Red vestment on a fawn’s back.
For years that cruciform huntsman,
O torment-mouthed man, sleeps.
Still his leopard’s eye glints ruby.
To the feeble houses of dawn’s fingers his string,
Blind river, comes taut.
Basking in the ire the great cat’s maul.
