They stand in a deeply malignant circle
sketching out the limits of reality
as no other group is willing to
or can.
And false as they are they shed, not skins,
not the cloaks that cover their bodies,
but all higher language and thought
speaking only of the simplest things
and in the simplest terms
and quietly too
as if their snake-god-who-comes-from-the-earth
winged(?)
will not devour them in recognition of their reverence
but how could that be true?
