Poems
Dec 2012
Prey
Eyes surveying the scape
desperately
barely breathing
I huddle down
motionless
something's rustling in the distance
can they sense me?
my heart bursting from my chest
a time of hyper vigilance
A snap tingles my drums from behind
I flee
flinging earth from under my might
taking in air swiftly
exhaling with no relief
but the beast lunges forward powerfully
caving my knees
I fall to defeat
as teeth sink into my arteries
I feel the blood rushing from me
Embracing death
and natures design
never knowing it would be so benign
