I have seen the animals
They spoke to me
The cave was dark
yet their skinned glowed in dynamic colors
My white sequined suit shimmered
I felt like a prophet
But they spoke to me
with one hundred mouths
with one voice:
WHEN WILL YOU RETURN TO ME
WHEN WILL YOU RETURN TO ME
I could taste the oxygen in the air
My clothes peeled like a stalk
My hairs stiffened like thorns
I dove amongst the bodies
We sprinted around the chamber
Exploded from the cave like steam
Ran through the forest like angry ghosts
Hissing at sound
Screaming at color
We clawed and fanged the ground to make the Earth bleed
