Moves in the rocks with inching fingers. 
We among the feathery banana trees 
Imagine for him his aim: the steel helmet 
And English face filling the backsight's V. 
Again as it was last time, that spurting noise, 
Thud, and the writhing figure in long grass. 
until we match precision with precision: 
We move ten men to one and have him then. 

I saw the sniper in the afternoon. The rifle 
Lay there beside him neatly like his shooting, 
The grass twined all about his cap. 
He had killed neatly but we had set 
Ten men about him to write death in jags 
Cutting and spoiling on his face and broken body.
