Vritra

This time the dragon defeats
The civilizing storm God
With His priests and His cattle,
Wheel-hammering armorers
And shimmering lightning bolts,
His me, His bizarre parents,
His desire to own the sky.

This time the enveloping
Leviathan, the serpent,
The high-mountain, cave-dwelling,
Treasure-hoarding, tree-guarding,
Fire-breathing bridge between deeps
And wings, the holy circle
Encircles thought and swallows.
