She loved apples.
He loved whatever she loved.
She offered him one; he ate it.

fourth (i)
She comes to him one night with starved eyes.
He doesn't know what to say. He takes her in his arms.
She rasps sickness into his gaping palm. She takes him between her legs.
She pours the disease over him like oil; and slick thereby, she slips away.

She lived in a lake. He was a wizard.
She loved him; he taught her.
She trapped him with one of his own spells.

fourth (ii)
Following the descent, she falls away. He goes to the village with the other, lives quietly.
Out of shadows she comes one night, scarred wrist wrapped in old beads, dirty and chipped, some missing from the strand.
-I'm sorry to say, she whispers, I've lost some of my marbles.
-Where did you find them, he asks.
-Pulled them out of my sole, out of my soul, she grins palely.
-Come inside, rest, he urges.
-No, I have already been inside, and I got lost and wandered until I starved.
-What of your bones?
-Even a dog didn't wish to gnaw on them. So I put them away safe inside you.

She was the moon and he was asleep on a hillside.
She had many children by him but loved only him and he never saw her.

fourth (iii)
In her time she flies away to a place where waxen faces speak harsh tongues. She drowns herself in the crowd and puts poison in her veins.
Her odorous decay leads to her discovery.

fifth
A boy will love a girl and marry her and never leave her. As for her fidelity, she may be ever pursuing her ferocious little white dog that always gnaws through his leash.
