"What are they fighting over?"
We do not know - it looks like a stone
in a tree and there are flowers
The battle continues; it is not decided
He listens to an advisor;
"if tomorrow comes" he sayeth.
The demon is a shapeshifter -
It came not as a man on the first night
of the third day - Oh High One
He strikes back at the breaking flanks
the center holds; the scattered
are organized again - are in formation
He tempts the demoness now leaves
the door unlocked at night
that it may come and take him away.
He is not afraid of rapture:
Is like a woman to it - is like a man;
puts his life on the altars.
His soul is before it - Oh Noble spirit
He exposes himself to danger
Is more man than the men - is more
woman than the women.
It is only the third day - they fear
the cage; he does not. |
