Two brothers lived

In this quiet pocket of forest

The older killed the younger

Cut him up like a sack of grain

Could not stand the automaton-like

Insistence of his ceaseless chatter

Eventually they found him

Tucked away under the midden



His flesh had dissolved

In echoes of mercurial glory

His bones were silent

They dreamed of the hidden foundation

His dreams were hidden

As the moon, in shadows, forever
