Splitting pumpkins was easy.
Rhubarbs are sturdier,
more like human necks.
I spent my childhood with rhubarbs.
”If the head falls from a single strike,
and the rest of the body stands for a bit,
with the blood bursting straight up,
then you have done your duty.”
Slaying pigs and goats was trifling,
but yesterday he came home with a stray dog,
and together with the poor mutt's life
my precious youth snuffed out.
”Let them call us blood judges or Devil's experts.
The King knows that it's not enough
to water the garden unless you weed it.”
It's rather simple with pigs and vegetables,
but dogs...
How is a dog different from a person?
”Good luck.”
