Rocking motion

Snarling gasp at the hip

Behind dark eyes

Shadows signal eclipse

Come and look beneath the skin

Sing of release

Staring at the beast

 

Visceral sunset

Laughter spilled on the sky

Running forward

Into shelter of the night

Listen to the spirit sign

Sing of release

Staring at the beast
