Coupled

tree trunks

grown together

the one draped

diagonally

across the other

like a loaded

bandolier — gnarled

bolls, peckered

holes, barks

peeled to pith

not a limb

or a crown

between them — 

stout souls

they stand

until some wind

some flood, some

cataclysm

dares to throw

them over
