Escape Looking around like a rabbit trapped in a wolf's den, perception confused and distorted, like a broken mirror. but it is safer than the outside, or is it? how to reach the outside? it is through the shard, with the wolf. is there no other way? perhaps, with some well-executed jumps? blood rushes freely from the cuts. bad jump. maybe again? another, somehow different, inside the den.

Flying as the Kleenex Flies flirting with the airFlying as the Kleenex Flies by ~Trit
softly caressing
diving, dropping
uncharted movement
doing the unexpected
trying to avoid capture

the Darkness of fear, loneliness, and insecurity,
the third is the midnight of the three.
casting its cold, wet spray on every aspect
of my days, and especially my nights.
The night is when it catches me

to some, I have the green moss of kindness.

I am not a stone.
I am an empty shell, c
