He noticed Ralph’s scarred nakedness
and the sombre silence of all four of them
he sought, charitable in his happiness,
to include them in the thing that had happened
his mind was crowded with memories;
memories of the knowledge that had come to
them when they closed in on a stuggling pig,
knowledge that they had outwittted a living thing,
imposed their will upon it
taken away its life
like a long satisfying drink
