Transcendence

Above, below, across, away and out
Here you sit 
Watch, watch
Sit, sit and listen 

Never step
Never speak

How long since you were bound and beaten?
How long in silence are you? 

Eyes are suffering, if you could but gouge them from their sockets. 
Free yourself from sight, but that is not your mercy.

Sit and watch, listen
Speak? 
Never

Watch and suffer
Always watch 
Always hear 
Always and always desire

Desire 
Desire is a demon 
The thing which eats and naws
Are you or are you not?

Shhh! Silence!
Sit and watch

Is there an object behind your shadows plato, tormenter of souls? 

Strive and be pulled taut 

Shall you ever escape the chains they bound you in?

Silence!

Never! 

Shh not yet 
Sit and watch

A Wolf's paw is bloody
A paw remains 
Remains where trap and teeth made the negotiation

watch and watch

See how she limps 
Dragging and draining
A red line follows
She sits now 
What stories these shadows tell

Sit and stare 
Strain and ache 
Love and ache

See how she snaps? 
Even a hobbled predator may bite.

Watch

Yes watch, but see also
See and be
Always be

Take now your resolve
Go 
Above, below, across, away and out
Always go

Fight and tear
Stretch taut 
Break and snap 
Drip and dribble

Make the negotiation 
Pay the blood price
Leave the paw

Sit no more

Watch? 

Rise and step
Limp or crawl
Touch and feel
Into blinding illumination

Catch now the shadows in the light beyond

Be as the bleeding she-wolf 

Go now frail creature of death
Go now to touch and live to die again

Go and do
Go and be
Always go
