I touched her and she ran.  Not far away,she didn't run to leave, she ran to stay. Just to the edge of where my eyes could see. Hovering there in the periphery, somewhere between hope and illusion. She haunted me.  No,Hunted me.  A cat with great skill, lying in wait its **** (OH WHAT A HUNTER I THOUGHT MYSELF TO BE.) I touched her and she ran, not so far as when first began. It happened again at least a time or two. As I was starting to understand, It came to me, (Stupid Man) Don't you see?  She's caught you.

Hunter or Hunted
I touched her and she ran.  Not far away,she didn't run to leave, she ran to stay. Just to the edge of where my eyes could see. Hovering there in the periphery, somewhere between hope and illusion. She haunted me.  No,Hunted me.  A cat with great skill, lying in wait its **** (OH WHAT A HUNTER I THOUGHT MYSELF TO BE.) I touched her and she ran, not so far as when first began. It happened again at least a time or two. As I was starting to understand, It came to me, (Stupid Man) Don't you see?  She's caught you.
