Mk 6:19b ... and she desired to-kill him, ...

The 2nd phrase has these 4 narrator words against John ... kai ēthelen auton apokteinai (and she-desired him to-kill, ...).

The 4 narrator words are top down. The first two words "kai ēthelen" (and she desired) are tangent to Herodias and the murderous Unclean Spirit inside her that wants to kill John. However, the dark circles of desire coming out of her mind are not tangent to what the Unclean Spirit wants meaning she doesn't have the power or authority to actually kill him. The last two words "auton apokteinai" (him to kill) are tangent to the corners of the triangular "watch" holding an image of John's head on a platter.
