Hunter

10 0 0
                                    

Wild hills in frozen night, whistled wind down barrel sight

Cautious prey lay hunkered down, crunch of snow the only sound

Seeking light the rider wields, quarry tracked through countless fields

Tension thick and piercing air, cannot contain the desperate prayer

Long at last the hunt shall end, as only hunted comprehend

Spiked and jagged splintered trees, twist and dance in revelry

                                                             ...

                                 Death enjoys the company.
