for me

there is only the hunt


the pursuit of

something larger, stronger, bigger than yourself


through the woods, across the highway, into the city

into a classroom, a music hall, a courtroom, a marathon finish line


throwing, grasping, stomping, holding, running

and then stopping, watching


i know my prey

i know what it will take to be caught


there is no time for hesitation in this game of

future cat and future mouse


i know that once i start, i cannot stop 

so i have not begun


but oh

how i wish to hunt
