THE MIGHTY PAWS OF LYNX GOD

the lynx is meditating on death
    and on prey
           and on blood
the lynx eyes are fixed
     on the gosling
        and nature has its course

    from the carcass
      of the killed gossling
         something new emerges
           and that something
            we venerate as
             the lynx god
          
               it is the spirit of the animal
                   embodying itself
                         into something beastlike
                     
                         that is what they do
                                 there in the forest
                                   the mighty lynx gods
