Blood-thirsty
the hounds were clipping my heels
panting, jeering
teeth showing
breath bereft
the lion's roar ceased
dying, faltering
ghost crumbling
light flickering
neither flight nor flight
doable, practical
discretion spent
outwitted
the lion lay low
willing, hankering
death by hideous hounds
a stranger to
fiery forces
converging, composing
resounding resurrection
eardrum busting
the lion's roar roasted the hounds
easing, mending
spirit rising
horizon spanning
my breath took hold
expanding, binding
fragments of me
