Keep still against the cold,
Away from speech and the thousand silhouettes that drown the light and take you
Run towards silence,
Where desire in breath awaits
coiled in body beyond what mind can fathom to what is Nameless
Time has distanced everything
The lines in the sand are blurred
I no longer recognize the person I am or’ve become
It stood in front of me just inches away.
At first, it was a fawn and then a Stag.
I was frozen with fear and thought its antlers would tear open my chest to rip my heart out (that was the thought)
My eyes were never more open but all it wanted to do was to smell me and get a sense of who and what I was at core so I extended my hand and allowed it to smell me.
It lowered its head and covered its antlers with fresh grass before walking away and then turning into a lion cub
night has come
where are you that I may find you
this chase is beginning to feel as though it has no end
A torrential downpour screams down
my face

I’m treading it’s ocean

Bruised from head to toe

I hide nothing

All insides revealed

but I’m tired
