Muye'Sestina 2


Muye's Sestina. I was hungry all day long yes hungry. Waiting for my wife to bring food for me Until I was no longer ready to bear. I saw neither food nor my wife. Thanks, the sky darkened yonder, pouring. That pacified my troubled sack a little. My wife should not push me a wall, a little. I eschew my wife making me hungry. Thank God the sky yonder pouring. Alleviating serious pains in me But what reason has she as my wife To shun me, making me hunger bear? I must resist her making me hunger bear, For I have ne'er made her sad a little. Has she lost her promise a true wife, Or that's why she's made me hungry! Didn't she think that may affect my me? And so she forgot me, water pouring. Some aim, other than water pouring Why she brought me hunger to bear. Her action wasn't at all fair to me. She must be, absentminded a little, That she made me uncommon hungry. I forgive her, for she has been a good wife. But why such treatment from my wife For washing and water pouring? Should I a day make her hungry? Or make hardship on her bear? Then she will, no matter how little, Next time think before she treat me. While I was athougt, my wife came to me, "Dear, I went water pouring,"said my wife". I looked at her and budged a little, "Thanks for the hunger, water pouring", I said, for what she brought on me to bear. "Go away",I said, I'm no longer hungry". Hungry she made me. That I bore from my wife, Water pouring, not minding a little.
