Your arrow across the purple moon glow night  --beach haloed

streaks and sparks, metallic explosion reminds  --an omens delight

us the same flavour of blood on our tongue --bursting, waning, waxing

stain of mortalic after taste, singed with sardonic empathy --ashore releasing.

Your spent time flowing soft in tame tides Femme --plorers seek

of the Forests where once witches brew, --to discover, ask for answers

rue Diana and her dryads heathen troops haunt --in corners where echoes

elfin fortresses delight, romping, tromping --recall, recant shadows of footsteps…

                                                         of Truth traces out

Your shadow passes casting glances --lines afraid of the dim

on sundials freeing the breeze to say---dark and unknown places

by the way You don’t belong but it was--leading to strange faces taunt

not You or I but the hunted who fear--races behind restrained by leashes-CUT

Free to fly.
