Between his arms, and blood turned his face inside out,
To demonstrate its suppleness
Of veins, as he perfected his role.”

They are provident instead,
Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
To eat dusty bread.”

Riots with his tongue through the hush—
Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!”
