Untamed Allies

Untamed Allies

This is the story of a young woman
and her loyal neighbor,
companion in laughter,
accomplice through the long winters
and shade that eases the burning of summer.
This bond is not broken by
the gray gatherings
where venomous tongues murmur,
where bored onlookers pass judgment
and accusing fingers point.
They are indomitable guardians
in epic battles of brotherly love.
