'I am not about to make a pact,'
said one to the other, then attacked.
'I saw you at the old brown house this morn,
came out to water dogs and raze the corn.'
'I tell you that I did you no such ill,'
said the other to the one, then slid downhill.
'The babes were cryin out beyond the reeds.
The quake did shake the earth of all her seeds.'
'Come now, you delicate old leaf,'
said one to the other, then cried, 'Thief!
I did watch your fingers wander hence!
I warn you, br'er, depart this rusted fence!'
'Rest you, now, before you wet the ground,'
said a third to them both, then stumbled down.
'You quarrel at the cross of these four roads.
You know not how this dusty decade bodes.'
By the moon,
the straights of June,
they would soon
grow apart.
'Ingrate!' 'Termagant!'
'Bastard!' 'Tart!'
By the sun,
priest and nun,
load the gun,
save the heart,
geriatric nubile
horse behind the cart.
Here they lie in common ground.
The marriage of the shadow and the sun
was dead before the vows were even done.
And I could not believe what happened next:
the flies bowed low, said, 'You passed the test.'
