What Her Friend Said to Her, within the Lover's Hearing
Kuruntokai 393
So few, really
were the days
your lover crushed your garland
of mixed flowers
in his clasp.
But O the scandal!
It was the far louder
than the clamor
of the Konkars flashing their blades
when Atikan,
commander of the Pantiya,
that king of the golden armor,
fell
with his elephant
in the wide field of Vakai
where the only wild fowl
were owls.
