2.
They imprison her
In the underworld fire
They force her to build
Towers of smoke
And make bread loafs of coal
They stuff her only with embers
And water
With hot mercury milk
They compel her to couple
With shining pokers
And rusty gimlets
With teeth the she-wolf catches
The fair-haired star
And returns to the sky’s foothills
