Ears twitching
I walk through the forest,
Overwhelmed by the humming
Silence of too much noise.
Muscles tensed
Coiled like a loaded spring
Imperceptibly my body shivers
In response to an unseen threat.
There is something in the air.
Cautious now,
I advance into the open space
Hunching low to avoid detection
Naked without the security of the shadows.
Looking down
I feel their eyes on me
Some curious, others predatory
Alone and exposed, they think me vulnerable.
Don't they know?
Fierce hearted,
A wolf does not cower
In the presence of sheep
And I am not one of the herd.
