King Killi in Combat
Purananuru 82
With the festival hour close at hand,
his woman in labor,
a sun setting behind pouring rains,
the needle in the cobbler's hand
is in a frenzy
stitching thongs for a cot:
swifter, far swifter,
were the tackles of our lord
wearing garlands of laburnum,
as he wrestled with the enemy
come all the way
to take the land.
