of her arms, this was her sin: 
where the wood berries bin 
of forest was new and full, 
she crept out by its tall 
posts, those wooden legs, 
and heard the sound of wild pigs. 
calling and did not wait nor care. 
The leaves wept in her hair 
as she sank to a pit of needles 
and twisted out the ivyless 
gate, where the wood berries bin 
was full and a pig came in.
