Suddenly he awoke and was running –
raw
In
raw-seamed hot khaki
,
his sweat heavy
Bullets smacking the
belly
out of the
air
– He
lugged
a
rifle
numb as a
smashed
arm;
In what cold clockwork of the stars and the nations Was he the hand pointing that second?
He was running
Threw up a yellow hare that rolled like
a
flame
And crawled in a threshing circle,
its mouth wide
King
,
honour
,
human dignity
,
etcetera Dropped like luxuries
His terror’s
touchy dynamite.
