Concluding
Remarks on Time and Conduct
The
living buried the dead.
This
ensemble reflex informed the statistics.
The
grave mounds decayed, an immense plain
and
later the site of ritual combat.
Priests
disguised as demons
danced
there— yellow matted hair, boiling eyes
and
from the necks exquisite silver bells
hung
by bright strings of human entrails.
The
creatures edge forward, crying thinly
through
the detachment
of
each breath, their stagger of steps
too
practised to ignore.
