In the rapt inertia of this posture, 
I neglect the impunity of my civilizational other 
for your furniture, for your teeth.

This secures me from the dread of savages. 
I mean of human shape; I mean of this urn world, where you are 
my vivid fringe, my ordered subject; and the moment of 
nation is kissing; and the ring of the massacre is fishing 
for the fashion of godly.
