Hunting foxed Arrows

I hunted foxed Arrows in The Vaults - 

The Eunuch of Stamboul -

Uncharted Seas - 

I passed by dimly lit alcoves -

Cobwebbed marvels -

Hunched figures - 

I wore my tweed - 

I turned thin yellowed pages - 

Gazed at lurid covers - 

The Daimler's engine purred I read - 

Kadzim's eyes were tiny beads -

A louche hero smoked a cigarette -

The Vaults
