Man the Man-Hunter

 I SAW Man, the man-hunter,
Hunting with a torch in one hand
And a kerosene can in the other,
Hunting with guns, ropes, shackles.
I listened And the high cry rang, The high cry of Man, the man-hunter: We’ll get you yet, you sbxyzch! I listened later.
The high cry rang: Kill him! kill him! the sbxyzch! In the morning the sun saw Two butts of something, a smoking rump, And a warning in charred wood: Well, we got him, the sbxyzch.
