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
