Those of you who consciously
wear your camouflage
and drive into the forest
your bow and bolts as large
as any there have ever been
inside your heart you must
realise the crossroads
are where you are at
the disgust
is falling all around you
your sexuality
you forfeit
for all that is left
complete depravity
maternal soul
who bears the worth
who lays the egg
the heart of earth
who nurtures
and provides the breast
whose camouflaged
inside her nest
who lies in wait
for unsuspecting
souls who are in their domain
prospecting for
a wild sweet bud
a juicy tendril
in the rain
who suffer most
the inclement weather
for they were tested
in the cold
and they come out to feed
their bodies
and on that day
when you had rolled
your 4×4 into their forest
an became an assassin
sly of eye
ready to down a glorious being
who was not ready
at that moment to cry
joy was there’s
the forest beckoned
the trees were dancing
the sun was out
the blossoms were fragrant
they were enjoying
their breakfast table
without a doubt
an in the hollow
there lay a monster
she had been a mother
of offspring she
but now so curdled
and dripped in blood lust
she held her rifle
it was the key
she pulled the trigger
and watched the bullet
slam into innocence
and cut it through
she heard that scream
break through the morning
a flock of birds
unlike the dream
clouded the sky
with mass emotion
the bear went down
kicking away
the bullet had entered
its lungs
it was frothing
as its sweet soul
was borne away
cry to the heavens
you frantic women
you listen to men
who have sunk and they
are dark the forces of evil
entrap them
and you follow suit
and with them lay
