they didn't plot this

It happened. The two had met each other only 

Yesterday. Neither had read many novels; 

They didn't plot this. It had something to do with the planets, 

With destiny, with rain. 

 

Because it happened, certain gates were shut; 

A door opened.

 

[Robert Bly {1926-2021} from 'The Parcel' in Collected Poems]
