Louse Hunting

Nudes — stark and glistening,

Yelling in lurid glee.

Grinning

And raging

Whirl over the floor one fire.

For a shirt verminously

Yon soldier tore from his throat, with

Godhead might shrink at, but not the lice.

And soon the shirt was

Over the candle he'd lit while we lay.

Then we all sprang up and

To hunt the verminous brood.

Soon like a demons'

The place was raging.

See the silhouettes agape,

See the glibbering

Mixed with the battled arms on the wall.

See gargantuan hooked

Pluck in supreme

To smutch supreme littleness.

See the merry limbs in hot Highland

Because some wizard

Charmed from the quiet this

When our ears were half

By the dark

Blown from Sleep's trumpet.
