Gauche is hiking down
Through tangled red forest on
Venus mons, prize waits
The land parts widely
The spring is already running
anticipation
Gauche lingers on rise
The ground trembles in want
Gauche travels downhill
The canyon is slick
The walls quiver joyously
A cave is ahead
Gauche is tempted by
His brother calls from uphill
Wait, the ground growls loud
Droit has found a peak
He wishes to explore in
distance another
Gauche climbs back to rise
Lingers there, Droit makes summit
The ground hums in joy
Labbra arrives climbs
Other peak, breathes heavily
Sups on dew at peak
Gauche returns to cave
Enters, earthquake, happens now
Labbra devours
Droit clings to the peak
Gauche darts in and out of cave
Labbra hikes downward
Gauche climbs to peak which
Labbra left, he continues
Down the valley, thirst
Labbra reaches rise
Rests here for a while, ground squirms
Moves toward the cave
More quakes begin now
Droit and Gauche squeeze and cling tight
Labbra drinks at spring
The ground quiets down now
The brothers leave for now
Knight appears, sword drawn
Knight approaches cave
Sword drawn, he enters, ground moans
The brothers return
Labbra meets his match
Further to the north, agape
Entwined they join
Peaks reoccupied
The brothers Knead the ground
The cave closes in
Knight attacks with sword
The ground squeezes tight
Sword plunges faster
The ground erupts then
The sword breaks and leaks, cave fills
All leave now to sleep
Epic ecstasy
Contented dreams occupy
The minds rest renewed.
