Pairable

Nigh deep in the Woods near the Waterfall Tree
Sleeps a House that was built from the Fruit of the Sea,
And the Man and the Woman that lived in it once
Ate the Forest and Sky indiscriminately.

Through the Winter and Rain they would suck at the Sun,
Drank the Land, chew the Oceans and spared not a One.
‘Till the Day when their Neighbors the Stars saw their Work:
So they speared the Pair wholly and called their Job done.
