Artemis
Whom the tall wood let in
-Wading in the trefoil
And distilling a sin
From the sanctity of the soil-
Feels his brassart estranged,
Under the greaves no shin
And tuille and tasses changed
To a target of tin.
While the feathered arrow whirs
Indeflectible through firs
I, stronger than my risk
Till susurrations cease,
Wait within the glittering disk
The truculence of your peace,
