Finally in front of Spork

Finally in front of Spork.

The duke towers next to his white horse.

His long hair has the gleam of iron.

Von Langenau did not ask.

He recognizes the general, dismounts,

and bows in a cloud if dust.

He is bringing a letter

that is to recommend him to the duke.

However, the duke orders: "Read this rag to me."

And his lips did not move.

He did not need them for that;

they are sufficient for swearing.

Anything beyond that, is spoken by his right hand.

Its looks tell you as much.

The young gentleman has long finished.

He doesn't know any longer where he is standing.

Spork occupies everything.

Even the sky is gone.

Then Spork, the great general, says:

"Cornet."

And that is a lot.
