-
inflated legend of the Bringer of Rain.
-
I would hear air filled with truer tale,
-
of Spartacus the man.
-
I knew him only as captor.
-
I do not move to trap you.
-
I but crave honest appraisal of worthy adversary.
-
One I shall soon meet upon field of battle.
-
Spartacus seems...
-
not the beast, one would form thought of.
-
And in place of horns and sharpened claw?
-
A wounded heart.
-
Yearning to balance scale.
