Adapted from the short story La Intrusa, by Jorge Luis Borges
CHORUS
I sing of two brothers
so like to each other
no knife can cut
no hand can undo
the bloodknot that binds
in one these two
alike in heart
alike in mind
two brothers so kin
they share one skin
1. Tavern. Night. A pair of dice rolls across the stage; MARTIN runs after; he crouches to look at the dice. EDUARDO follows with MURANO. They exclaim simultaneously:
double sixes!
MURANO
this knife says you cheated!
EDUARDO
it’s a lie
MURANO
not so
MARTIN
you can fight me any time
MURANO
my quarrel is with Eduardo
MARTIN
my brother’s quarrel is mine
MURANO
fine
(HE pulls out his knife. MURANO
and MARTIN start to fight.)
VOICE
stop them!
they’ll kill each other
VOICE
break it up, men!
if you two want to fight
go outside
(THEY are pulled apart)
2. House: Night. Hoofbeats. The brothers arrive home, come on stage with saddles, enter house. Lights go on. Shadows at the window passing back and forth.
CHORUS
they drink from one cup
they eat from one plate
they keep one house
they share one fate
(The lights go out.)
3. Tavern. Night. Men drinking, playing cards.
Guitar: Milonga of the Two Brothers (CHORUS I)
Remember the brothers Iberra
where danger was, these two were there
outlaws whose name was a terror
and lovers as faithless as fair;
hustlers gamblers and brawlers,
they lived without forethought or care.
No one knew which of these brothers
was quicker at picking a fight
the blade in one hand or the other’s
would flash like a zigzagging light
and the dice in one cup or the other’s
would rake in the winnings all night.
But Eros, that lover of carnage,
shot home in one brother his bolt,
and the thing looked to end in a marriage
and a brother forsworn by default
and envy, compounding the damage,
set the other in secret revolt.
He put on a face of fair seeming
but spite ruled his heart and his mind
and inwardly voices were screaming:
Pay back betrayal in kind –
and he cursed like an unbridled demon
Love’s action for fatal and blind.
The deed that was done by the river
was planned to a T, and once done
none knew what had served to deliver
the death blow that noonday, not one:
an arrow drawn straight from the quiver
or a bullet shot straight from a gun.
Now I’ve told you as well as I’m able
the age-old story of Cain
who murders his brother Abel
again and again and again
(JULIANA dances with a handkerchief.
At the end of the dance, she throws it at
EDUARDO. MARTIN catches it.)
4. Early morning. House. JULIANA comes out of doors. Empties slops. Looks at the sun.
CHORUS I & II
the day begins
the clear unclouded day
what will it bring? how will it end?
CHORUS II
is this day her enemy?
is this day her friend?
CHORUS III
it is too soon to say
too soon to say
CHORUS I
why does she stand in this doorway?
how has she come to this place?
why is she willing to share
a stranger’s embrace?
CHORUS III
she scarcely knows herself
she scarcely knows
she is here because for her
there is nowhere else to go
a woman with no family of her own
a woman with no kin
is like a fallen leaf that’s blown
from place to place
from man to man
she does what she can
to settle in
to make herself at home
it isn’t what she wants
but it’s what she has got
better not to ask
better not to worry her heart
better for her not to question her lot
CHORUS II
but where is she from?
where did she start?
CHORUS III
it’s been so long
if once she knew
by now she has forgot
everything went wrong
but how she cannot say
no matter what we do
things have a way
of happening to us
if we want them to or not
CHORUS II
I know what you mean
again and again
I have seen it happen
with women and with men
a person leaves somewhere
and by and by arrives somewhere
but how he got from one place to the other
he does not know and cannot say
even though
he never missed
a step along the way
yes he was there
at every step of the way
CHORUS I
she must have had some end in view
where did she think she was going?
CHORUS III
she went without knowing
by placing one foot in front of the other
CHORUS II
what did she want?
CHORUS III
to be a wife to be a mother
that’s what a young girl dreams
life will bring
it isn’t much and yet to her
it is almost everything
CHORUS I & II
it’s clear she has been careless and unwise –
I won’t reproach you for past mistakes
but I advise you, dear
to leave this place
and leave this man
it bodes no good
to linger here
leave
leave while you can
MARTIN (entering from the house)
woman, why are you idling here?
come inside
set the kettle to boil for tea
pour mate for my brother and me
now is no time to laze in the sun
today is market day
we should have been underway
long ago
we must yoke the oxen
pile the wagon high with hides
hurry up before
the best deals get done
what are you waiting for?
come back inside
(As SHE goes in, EDUARDO is coming out.
They almost collide.EDUARDO steps back in
confusion. SHE passes. HE looks after her.)
CHORUS
I like it not
I like it not
this tapestry is not of my making
my hand would stay
the shuttle’s play
the pattern troubles my sleeping and waking
5. Sunset. House. Enter EDUARDO carrying harness followed by MARTIN with packages. HE calls:
Juliana!
Juliana!
where are you, woman?
(Enter JULIANA)
MARTIN
a sack of flour for the kitchen
a sack of seed for the barn
wait – here’s a package for you
you’ll never guess what it is
CHORUS
what can it be?
knitting needles? yarn?
I can’t wait to see
MARTIN
let me
untie the string
(JULIANA takes out oversize fake jewelry, puts it on)
CHORUS
a necklace!
earrings!
a garnet ring!
CHORUS I
all of it paste
CHORUS II
in terrible taste
CHORUS III
incorrigible snobs!
curmudgeonly churls!
she’s as pleased as can be
why must you rob
the girl of her pleasure?
cut her some slack
for her, it’s the stuff
of a pirate treasure
(SHE tries them on, turns her arms,
her head this way and that.)
MARTIN
tonight there’s a party
at Julio’s place
we two will dance holes in the floor
(To EDUARDO)
look how they glitter
see how they shine
don’t they look fine?
they couldn’t suit her more
(producing another package)
and here is a skirt
the color of wine
go put it on
tonight we will dance
until dawn
(JULIANA goes inside)
EDUARDO
aren’t you overdoing it?
MARTIN (shrugging his shoulders)
it cannot hurt
to show her off a bit
EDUARDO
brother, have a care!
suppose she starts thinking she’s a fine lady
then you’ll be sorry!
MARTIN
brother, don’t worry
I’ll keep her in line
(JULIANA comes out in the skirt, twirls around and smiles;
MARTIN goes to her, puts his hands around her
waist and they tango across stage to the
party; EDUARDO follows looking grim.)
6. Julio’s Place: EDUARDO is dancing with a partner. As the dance ends, he abruptly stops, turns away and walks off leaving her in the lurch. He sits with a bottle and stares grimly ahead.
MAN (CHORUS I)
what’s wrong with the man?
what turned him sour?
he sits there drinking
hour after hour
sullen and morose
half comatose –
they’ll sweep him out with the sawdust come dawn
MARTIN (putting his arm on him)
Eduardo, come on!
dance with Juliana
EDUARDO (shrugging him off)
leave me alone
MAN (CHORUS II)
it’s his brother’s woman
weighs on his mind
he needs a woman of his own
WOMAN (CHORUS III, approaching Eduardo)
buy a drink for a girl?
EDUARDO
go away, woman!
I’m not in the mood
WOMAN
well, you don’t have to act so surly
I meant no harm
EDUARDO (standing up abruptly)
Martin, it’s getting late!
it’s time to go home
we must get up early tomorrow
MARTIN
No. I don’t want to go just yet.
EDUARDO
Think how tired you will be.
You will blame me for feeling half dead.
MARTIN
I promised the girl
I’d dance until dawn
you go ahead
I’ll catch up with you later on
EDUARDO (moves downstage, outside)
WOMAN, two MEN (CHORUS)
trouble is brewing
between these two
a storm of trouble
mark my words
7. House. Night.
EDUARDO (alone)
her face in the windowpane
her face in the glass
her face in the pool left by rain
will not pass
I am drawn to her like a magnet to the pole
I am drawn to her like a part to the whole
a dozen faces are lovelier than hers
but when I see her
a trembling in my hands commences
a dozen voices are sweeter than hers
but when I hear her
a tightening in my throat commences
in her absence such a longing seizes my senses
I forget she is my brother’s woman not mine
my blood is drunk on her wine
my blood is drunk on her wine
8. House. Daylight. EDUARDO is in the courtyard, drying his face after washing it at the pump. Enter JULIANA, with jar for water. She smiles at him. He turns his back, goes to pick up his saddle, SHE draws water goes inside. MARTIN comes out. Long look at Eduardo.
MARTIN
brother, where are you going?
we have hides to deliver
EDUARDO
I’m going to Junin
I need a break
MARTIN
wait until tomorrow
we have a deal to make
EDUARDO
do it without me
MARTIN
we drive a harder bargain
when there are two of us
EDUARDO
this time you must
rely on yourself
MARTIN
how can I persuade you?
EDUARDO
don’t even try
it isn’t any use
(HE leaves, hefting saddle, toward the stable. WHINNY of horses.)
9. Tavern. Two men, one woman (CHORUS)
MAN
there’s a woman at the Nilsens’
Martin has got hold of
she has driven a wedge between them
a thick impassable wedge
WOMAN
Eduardo is in love
but Martin had her first
MAN
their rivalry
is the talk of the neighborhood
how will it end?
MAN
God only knows
MAN
Surely in blood
MAN
if it comes to blows
my money is on Martin
MAN
Eduardo is stronger
MAN
Martin is faster with the knife
(MARTIN, who has been standing in the
shadow of the door, steps forward.)
MARTIN
did I hear my name?
WOMAN
they were praising your skill with the blade
MARTIN (looking at MEN)
whoever wants to trifle
with my brother’s name or mine
is welcome to taste its edge
WOMAN
no harm was intended
talking is no crime
MAN
no one questions
your reputation for courage
or the honor attaching to your name
MAN
I’ll drink to it anytime
WOMAN
this is a dispute soon mended
MAN (gesturing to bar)
you there, more of the same
all around
10. House: EDUARD0
I can’t go on this way
sixes I leave
twos I stay
(rolls the dice)
I don’t believe it!
a two and a six!
the dice are blind
what am I to do?
uncertainty is making me sick
MARTIN (calling)
Eduardo, where are you?
(enters, dressed up)
I’m off to a party tonight
I’m leaving the woman behind
do with her as you like
(HE leaves. The stage darkens. A light goes on
in JULIANA’s room. EDUARDO’s shadow
is seen passing the window. The light goes out.)
CHORUS I
two men, one heart
two men, one will
two men, one Boy of Love’s lethal dart
(Dumbshow: EDUARDO comes out and smokes a
cigarette in the dark while the lights go on and
MARTIN’s shadow crosses the window from the left.)
CHORUS I & II
what shall I say
of this unholy pair
each with a share
of the woman in there –
each one in love
with a love each denies
in love with her smile
in love with her eyes
in love with her high white breast
in love with her long white thighs
CHORUS I & II (cont’d)
this love is monstrous
this love is vile
it troubles me now
it will trouble me still
when all three are long laid to rest
(MARTIN comes out and smokes a
cigarette in the dark while the lights go
on and EDUARDO’s shadow crosses the
window from the right.)
CHORUS I & II
such are the plots
the gods devise
such are the knots
no cunning unties
CHORUS II & III
(JULIANA appears at the window)
which of the two does she favor?
which is the one she prefers
Eduardo? Martin?
this is the secret she keeps
that is hers
on her breast he lays his head
seeking rest
on her heart he lays his head
her heart/her heart/ of lead
never guessed
which is the one she loves best
Martin? Eduardo?
what can she say?
how whisper his name?
Eduardo? Martin?
night covers her mouth with shame
she is dumb to speak
from day to day
from week to week
like the dogs she is
who eat kitchen scraps
like the mules she is
who bear heavy packs
patiently she bears the burden
the heavy burden
of man’s will
she cannot speak them fair
she does not speak them ill
Martin! Eduardo!
she will not betray his name
Eduardo! Martin!
night covers her mouth with shame
night covers her mouth with shame
11. Day. EDUARDO and MARTIN at the cart, loading hides.
MARTIN
Be careful.
The bottom one is thin
(EDUARDO snags it on the edge of the cart.)
clumsy fool!
look what you’ve done!
you’ve ruined the skin
it has a big tear
EDUARDO
(turning away toward house)
who cares?
it was badly tanned to begin with
MARTIN
that’s no excuse
(EDUARDO kicks the earth. Dust
flies up in MARTIN’s face.)
you did that on purpose
EDUARDO
I don’t need your abuse
MARTIN
is that a dare?
EDUARDO
it’s yours to say
(MARTIN lunges at EDUARDO with his
knife. Eduardo meets him with his. They disarm
each other, lock arms and wrestle to a standstill.)
MARTIN
Brother, listen!
stop a minute – think!
we can’t go on this way
from day to day
from night to night
something’s out of sync
when brothers pick a fight!
MARTIN
Brother, you’re right
it is base and demeaning
to let her come between us
she is just a woman nothing more
no woman is worth fighting for
EDUARDO
she is just a woman nothing more
no woman is worth fighting for
MARTIN
I’ve thought the whole thing through
it’s clear what we must do ….
(THEY move to the side, whisper)
CHORUS
they can’t go on this way
from day to day
from night to night
two men one woman
strung up tight
in passion’s noose
one of them
must die or be cut loose
12. Day. House. MARTIN and EDUARDO sit drinking tea.
MARTIN
Juliana, where’d you go?
come out on the patio
JULIANA (enters with kettle, starts to pour)
MARTIN (gesturing)
no
never mind the mate
go pack your things
your rosary and cross
your bangles and rings
we’re leaving right away
for Moron
Eduardo, fetch the cart
I’ll hitch the oxen up
let’s get an early start
woman, get ready
go on
(The MEN leave. JULIANA goes inside)
CHORUS I
has she no pride?
no self-respect?
see how she obeys
without saying a word
now is no time
for meekness
now is the time to speak
now is the time to object
has she no care for her fate?
at least let her remonstrate
she is not a slave
CHORUS IIII
that’s how women live
silent and submissive
as the dust on their knees
aching to serve
aching to please
CHORUS II
it hurts me to see her
so servile and dumb
(VOICES heard offstage)
Juliana, come!
CHORUS III
what would you have?
a woman survives
as best she can
in a world that is run
by master and man
CHORUS I
can’t she strike out
why not revolt
CHORUS II
can she cut with a knife
can she shoot with a gun
CHORUS I
weapons will rust
words are undying
revolutions are born of defiance
if she doesn’t say no
nothing will change
or change will be endlessly slow
CHORUS III
but where can she go
she has no family
or kin
who is there to take her in?
CHORUS II
she bends her knees
to the rosary
and makes the sign of the cross
before Jesus
but this faith of hers
must be weak and dim
if she cannot seek
a better life
trusting in Him
CHORUS III
faith teaches her
to know her place
and suffer her wrongs
with patience
all necks are yoked to gravity
only the spirit is free
(JULIANA come out of the house with her
belongings tied in a sack; she stands a
moment)
CHORUS I
does she know what these brothers intend?
CHORUS II
can she guess how her journey will end?
CHORUS III
Oh do not ask her
like others of her kind
she puts one foot in front of the other
not knowing where she is going
she cannot read minds
CHORUS I and II
then let her do as she will
each person has his own fate
each soul has its destiny to fulfill
EDUARDO & MARTIN (VOICES offstage)
woman, hurry up
don’t keep us waiting
(JULIANA moves offstage)
13. The Brothel
MADAM (CHORUS III)
here’s the money for your girl
count it it’s all there
my dealings are fair
her figure is good
she has a big smile
she will earn it back
in a very short while
(to MARTIN)
what did you say her name was?
EDUARDO
Juliana
MADAM
Juliana, you have come to a good house
you can thank your stars and the Madonna
(takes her inside)
CHORUS
what of Eduardo
what of Martin?
have they rid themselves
of the demon of love?
poor brothers!
what can they be thinking of!
when passion speaks
the image it seeks
remains in the eye of the mind
not heaven not hell
can erase that face
indelibly drawn
in the mind’s eye
not in flood not in fire
will it burn will it drown
poor brothers!
the woman is gone
the image remains
both are still pawns
to unquenchable desire
14. The Tavern. Night. MARTIN and two men playing cards. One of the men deals.
DEALER
where is Eduardo?
MARTIN
gone on an errand
MAN
where to?
MARTIN
I don’t know
MAN
what a lousy hand
MARTIN
two cards here
MAN
three for me
DEALER (dealing himself one card, to MARTIN)
your play
MARTIN
I’ll stay
MAN
I’m out
DEALER
I’ll raise you and see you
MARTIN
two of a kind
DEALER
full house beats a pair
there’s a cockfight tonight
MARTIN
where?
DEALER
Farias’ at nine
MARTIN
I’ll be there
CHORUS
not heaven not hell
can erase that face
indelibly drawn
in the mind’s eye
not in flood not in fire
will it burn will it drown
Poor brothers!
the woman is gone
the image remains
but both are still pawns
to unquenchable desire
(EDUARDO and two men playing cards.
One of the men deals.)
DEALER
where is Martin?
EDUARDO
gone on an errand
MAN
where to?
EDUARDO
didn’t say
MAN
what a lousy hand
EDUARDO
I’ll take three
MAN
me too
DEALER (dealing himself one card)
I’m in
EDUARDO (pushing money to the center)
I’ll double and see you
MAN
I’m out
DEALER
You win
EDUARDO
let’s see your cards
nothing
you were bluffing
DEALER
another hand?
EDUARDO
the deal is mine
MAN
There’s a cockfight tonight
EDUARDO
where?
MAN
Farias’ at nine
EDUARDO
I’ll be there
CHORUS
not heaven not hell
can erase that face
indelibly drawn
in the mind’s eye
not in flood not in fire
will it burn will it drown
Poor brothers!
the woman is gone
the image remains
both are still pawns
to unquenchable desire
15. The Brothel. Day. EDUARDO is coming out as MARTIN about to enter.
MARTIN
you of course!
I recognized the horse
EDUARDO
how else could it end?
how foolish we are
trying to pull wool
over each other’s eyes
MARTIN
it’s hardly a surprise
EDUARDO
brother, we were better off before
there was no pretense
and we did not need to travel so far
MARTIN
brother, right you are
We were better off before
EDUARDO
it would make more sense
to keep the woman close at hand
MARTIN
we understand each other
there’d be no need to ride
to Moron anymore
EDUARDO
it would save us the bother
of a tedious journey
MARTIN
spare your horse and mine
the strain and the lather
EDUARDO
let us talk to the madam
and buy her back again
what do you say?
MARTIN
she’ll drive a hard bargain
EDUARDO
either way we pay
16. The house. Night. DUMBSHOW as before. Lights on in JULIANA’s room, EDUARDO’s shadow crosses the window from the right, lights go out. MARTIN’s cigarette glows outside in the dark. Lights go on in JULIANA’s room, MARTIN’s shadow crosses from the left. EDUARDO’s cigarette glows in the dark.
CHORUS (during the dumbshow, reprise)
what shall I say
of this unholy pair
each with a share
of the woman in there –
each one in love
with a love each denies
in love with her smile
in love with her eyes
in love with her high white breast
in love with her long white thighs
this love is monstrous
this love is vile
it troubles me now
and will trouble me still
when all three are long laid to rest
17. The house. Day. MARTIN and EDUARDO sit a table on the patio.
EDUARDO
woman, where are you?
bring in the tray
(After a minute)
MARTIN
where is the mate?
don’t keep us waiting
JULIANA enters. Wordlessly serves them.
EDUARDO
lazy skirt!
MARTIN (picking up a cup)
look at this cup!
didn’t you wash up?
the rim is dirty
(SHE starts to leave)
EDUARDO (grabbing her arm)
when my brother addresses you, answer him!
CHORUS
defend yourself, speak
tell him he’s hurting
(wrenching away SHE knocks over the kettle.
The liquid spills. It burns MARTIN’s hand.
HE knocks a plate off the table as he stands
abruptly and gives her a cuff.)
MARTIN
clumsy fool!
you have spilled the mate
EDUARDO
and broken the plate
MARTIN
why are you waiting
sweep up the patio
(JULIANA leaves)
EDUARDO
come on
let’s go to the cafe
MARTIN
No, I think I’ll take a walk
I’ll join you later
EDUARDO
Whatever you say
(THEY leave in different directions.
As EDUARDO goes off stage a dog yelps
as if kicked. EDUARDO’s voice)
damned dog
get out of the way
CHORUS
restless the sleep
troubled the dreams
of these two brothers
Eduardo Martin
since this pliant woman
has slipped in between
like a fiery brand –
how must they see each other in her eyes
how must they meet enclosed in her thighs
it is more than a man can bear
it is more than a man can stand
CHORUS II
which one is Abel
which one is Cain
which one will go
which will remain?
18, The road. Dusk. MARTIN is tieing canvas over the cart. Enter EDUARDO.
MARTIN
hello, brother
jump in
EDUARDO
where are you going?
MARTIN
to Pardo’s with the skins
EDUARDO
why now
MARTIN
the heat is too great
to bear by day
at night the air
is cooler
EDUARDO
brother, you are right
(HE gets in. They clip-clop along.)
CHORUS
clippoty-clop
clippoty-clop
moving along
to Destiny’s tune
what is she singing?
what is the burden of her song?
night falls
the moon is rising
rising rising in the wide starry skies
rising over the tracks
of the foolish and the wise
shining on the secrets
of the children of men
secrets without number
known only to the moon
to the all-seeing eye
of the lady on high
and soon to be forgotten
even by her
as her lamp grows dim
and fades from view
behind the slow curve
of the earth’s rim
clippoty-clop
clippoty-clop
the cart is turning
the cart is slowing
the cart is coming to a stop
EDUARDO
why are we stopping, brother?
MARTIN
this place is as good as another
the earth here is soft as a pillow
the grass here is tall as a candle
EDUARDO
but we are not even halfway there
MARTIN
Here is a shovel
now help me, brother
the buzzards will soon take over
I killed her this afternoon
let her lie in her trinkets and rings
with the earth for a cover
we are quit of the trouble
the lasting trouble
she brings
(THEY lay out the body
and start digging)
CHORUS
she lived in silence
she died with violence
innocent as a beast
killed like a beast
CHORUS l
why must she pay?
CHORUS II
she stood in the way
the knife with the name of another
found her breast
CHORUS III
the knife with the name of a brother
gave her rest
a sacrifice
on the altar erected
to the love
CHORUS II
a sacrifice
perfected
by the love
CHORUS II
of brother for brother
that bloody breast
that spreading stain
pays the debt
CHORUS III
lays to rest
II & III
the debt owed to Abel by Cain
CHORUS III
such is the price
CHORUS II
a blood sacrifice
CHORUS I
when brothers compete
one lives one dies
CHORUS II
their love is complete
blood purifies
CHORUS I
listen!
can you hear?
the singing is clear
it is her blood that sings
it wells from the earth
in a second birth
from sorrow’s springs
JULIANA SINGS
(rising ghostly beside the two men as they bend to the shovel)
I am the blood of the innocent
I am spilled every day every hour
I am death’s most virulent flower
nothing contains me, no cup no bowl no jar
I water the ploughed field, I water the roots of war
once I was quick and brimming with life
I was a young man, an old man, a daughter, a wife
now I am nothing, I am one with ashes and dust
do not speak to me of justice
speak to me of the earth’s cold crust
speak to me of the earth’s cold crust
19. The house. Night
MARTIN
where is the Bible?
EDUARDO
in the storage room
in the cabinet with glass doors
MARTIN
wait
I’ll bring it here
CHORUS
the blood of the dove
drips from their hands
the blood of the dove
muddies the waters
the swift-flowing waters
the life-bestowing waters
of love
MARTIN (returning with Bible)
look!
the names of our parents
and the names of their parents
are recorded in this book.
CHORUS
one name they will never name
Juliana Burgos
one past they will never reclaim
Juliana Burgos
EDUARDO
and here are our names
and the dates of our birth
CHORUS
these names will soon pass from the earth
MARTIN
do you swear?
EDUARDO
I swear
TOGETHER
released by this act of violence
CHORUS
released by this act of violence
MARTIN and EDUARDO
I Martin/ I Eduardo
swear
CHORUS
they swear
MARTIN & EDUARDO
ever to wear
the mask of silence
(THEY cut their wrists and mix their blood)
CHORUS
ever to wear
the mask of silence
MARTIN & EDUARDO
now it is done
now we are one
CHORUS
two men one mind
two men one heart
MARTIN & EDUARDO
not the sun not the moon
can pry us apart
CHORUS
not the moon not the sun
can pry them apart
CHORUS III
two men one crime
swallowed by time
CHORUS
when brothers compete
one lives one dies
CHORUS II
their love is complete
silence complies
CHORUS: finale
the wind blows
no man knows
whence it came
whither it goes
the cold wind and warm
the mild wind and wild
sweeps like a broom
through history’s room
man and his deeds
are swept away
swept away
only the winds
know where they go
only the winds –
hear how they blow!
warm winds and cold
wild winds and mild
carry the tales
told and untold
carry the words
carry the deeds
the cruel and the kind
the just and unjust
the wind the wind the wind
carries them all
out of mind
scatters them all
like dust
like dust
