********************************

out of breath

like you've been

running

for a long time

running away

from someone

or something

or somethings

the moon shines

bright

in the sky

which is

scattered

with droplets of

light

stars

the forest

behind you

is dark

menacing

beautiful

the wolves

snarl

as they tear

out of the

thorns

at the

edge of the

wood

and see you

arms spread

letting the

moonlight

sink into your

skin

and somehow

they find it

beautiful

mesmerizing

they pause

almost like dogs

in their docility

and wait

watch

don't move a

muscle

as you step forward

eyes

closed

another step

and another

until you're at the

edge of the cliff

rocks

tumbling down

into the ravine

below

you'd be impaled

if you jumped

so would the

wolves

they cock their heads

at you

perhaps

wondering

questioning

your choice

as you put one

foot

in front of the

other

and step

down

down

down

into the darkness
