Four stoves strapped to his front section. Over his heart, his solar plexics, and around stove covering the remainder of his chest area, and across two guns firing out at the police there who were below his station against the rocks, His limbs were being riddled with holes, but somehow he remained alive through the afternoon. -(relates to fasting)- He had a wild vision for food; toe and the evening he entered his cabin, through nothing but danger was under the silver light beam sword of A Love known on this austaned night.

The titled page moves from a body strapped with stoves and guns into a threatened cabin full of garlic, heat, food preparation, and sudden fear.

Headed 'Four,' a retelling that puts siege and kitchen in one room. 'Stoves strapped to his front section' over heart and solar plexus, 'two guns firing out at the police' below, his limbs 'being riddled / with holes' yet alive through the afternoon - glossed '(relates to / fasting).' Then 'a wild vision for food' as he enters the cabin under 'the silver / light beam sword of A Love.' Domestic detail crowds the standoff: high ceiling 'with / one beam,' fingers in pain preparing 'the dough into A thin base of A large rounded / tortilla,' 'powdered herbs of garlic,' a hot wood stove. A porch creak, a figure glimpsed 'through / A thin crack in the wall,' and he reaches not for pistols but for his rifle. This reading is provisional because the page transcript sits in the 'mixed' OCR quality band.
