Little Emperor of human cut hills
posing on wooden posts, back turned away in contempt from the road with a wood-brown body carved out of G-forces, flecks of flint, the hooks at the end of the horizon, yellow eyeing the bulbing fields, furry woods shivering in mouse skulls curving up into the cloudy cranium.
