SPIRIT MATTERS
anywhere

"some of my memory is so haunted - i know"
submitting my eyes only to the ground blankly-
-remembering-
then back up to the one who wondered
who my master was-
"I was born on the wings of time was told"
saying undefined and searching how to say to gain time
"dont think things were late but just in time-
the island was sinking and i was taken to sky"
pauses with eyes wide to say next
"twas a Tarn only now i know" smiles
looking past their eyes -seemingly to me some blank defiance
"dropped into shallow waves barely tumble wrapped washed ashore"
-rolling my arms around to show
-then in voice of luck "its what i have been always told - is all i know"
- eyes squinting remembering i am hungry - brisking more words
"Amoung other things
From this time,
The spiders orb,
The silent snake,
a waters voice,
The blood of wound,
Or flesh with roast
Wrapped in greens"
Mmmm
hopefully i think they are confused
"These are my strands -my scraps - my breathe- not a Masters"
and now gripping my bow much like a tree holds its own branch
my glare allowing my ears listening to their silence
- caught off guard

"your betise strenuous efforts
less your cowardness"
starting to laugh to ease my real fear
"those binds on you- you think for me?"
smiles at looks at the galoot slaver cullys
from under rain wet wolf shroud-
sliding feets back in the mud for more distance
"oh i will you" tapping my own binds staring back at them
"you woant' see it - like Larl uff rocky edge cliff
-fang thru your unwell hairs the other deep --- yous neck!"
my now severe feral voice loud swiftly weaving back with me into the trees
vanishing

breathing - silently no one elses
panting my spoken thought open - "i miss good sisters"
aversioning this emotion to stabbing deeper
squinting watered eyes hard but open to see again
looking back to see if being followed
"will find again" huffing out
in hunted speed
a re-spirit stir
repeating -running - repeating
spotting the flock of birds flying above
on their journey
