you of the darkness
the sky, the secret place
you who came forth backwards
hoodwinking: owner of faces
owner of horns, you of the cavern
you who acted willfully: demolisher, disturber
white of teeth, blood-eater eavesdropping:
your house the abyss, cavern of wrong:
transgression, falsehood, murder, the West
crookedness see whom you bring:
pale one, wanderer wading in water 
far strider, foreteller: eater of entrails
swallower of shades: accuser
unhearing of truth:
you of the altar: place of execution
bone breaker
damaging a god's image 
copulating with a boy
killing a sacred bull
bringer of your offering:
the dusk: the darkness
the silent land
