man
woman
child
people
splendid
full
beautiful
however,
high wall
great power
feared by world
woman standing looking
fresh and green she longed for
desire increased
woman knew she could not
miserable
husband worried
our house shall die
man loved wife
no matter the cost
In the twilight
he climbed over the wall
and took his wife
She
happy
longed for more
her husband once more
was afraid
How dare you thief?
You shall suffer
frightened husband
have mercy, I had to
My wife would have died
baby daughter
in fear
took away
beautiful child
shut in
no doors
only a little window
she stood beneath the window and cried
she heard voices
wounded
fell
in her loneliness
passed
we cried
we cried
frightened man began to talk
his heart stirred
no rest
no fear
he was kind
I will go away but how
come
we shall escape together
the young child
separated from the world
deceived
seized
lay on the ground
angry
poor
grief
misery
she cried
dearest she
beautiful bird
no longer singing
banished
in despair
with life, but the thorns pierce
the dearest roam in misery for months
no happy and content
