Woods, blue in the sky
Sun, shining down, illuminating
Hundreds of paths, all radiating from this point.
Looking back, there is forest thick, no way back, should ever want to try.
Choose a path and start walking, as the sky brightens and clears, deeper, warmer, blue
Keep walking as the forest goes wilder
Take a look back, but the forest is thick
The sky clouds over, gray puffs from a smoker
cover the ceiling slowly.
The day steadily darkens
Risk a look back, to the sides
Trapped, the only way is forward.
Break into a run, and run, and run,
So tired, but the only way is forward
A jackal bursts out and taps after
With a pounce, light as a mouse
But with fury like a bear for her cubs
Scrambling over feet have tripping forward
Running, now for life
The forest comes alive, the plants reach out
Leaves swipe and branches poke
Swerve and dodge, it's the only way out
Still forward towards that little beam of light
At the end of sight.
The jackal is, closing in on,
Don't scream now, don't scare
It will kill anyway, accept death
Keep running anyway
The light is coming closer, run, farther, faster
and
The forest ends, burst out the forest
Come out on a narrow cliff.
Look down, the vertigo will almost overtake
The jackal has paused
and the choice is
always death.
