(urth) Silk beating two horses, Orpine rotting to vines, and Wolfe's dedication

[Marc Aramini]

trees are just as important to me as vines,  my bad I couldn't find it when I was writing the stuff last night.  sorry about the title.  The idea of two black horses that are brothers is interesting to me.  These things beg for interpretation of some kind.  Luckily we can explain waters receding in light of Lake Limna, or else I would be saying something else right now ...
