I actually had a lot of fun messing around with this one. It's a re imagining of the conversation between the lamb and wolf shown in the trailer. I really did fall in love
with their lore and wanted to express that in a poem, and finally decided that the only way you can express them is in couplets, two as one.
The Lonely Man
The story they tell is an old one.
How old.
...
As Old as we are dear Wolf.
Lamb, what story do they tell?
...
One about a man.
What kind of man?
...
He was a lonely man.
A lonely one?
...
Yes, everyone he met turned away.
Why away?
...
He was the one to bring the end.
But the end is good.
...
And it is necessary.
Then why did they run?
...
They clung to the life they had.
Clingy creatures.
...
Yes, they loved themselves.
So they ran away?
...
They ran away; they hated meeting the man.
Poor man.
...
Even those who accepted the man left him lonely.
How?
...
They had to leave him, for that was his job.
So he could never win.
...
He never won. The man had two sides.
Two?
...
One who was swift and one who was fierce.
Why?
...
Because some would accept his sentence.
And the arrow?
...
The others would flee from fate.
They had to be chased.
...
That is why.
Why what?
...
Why he split himself in two of course.
So he would always have a friend?
...
So he would always have a friend.
