Home Is Blue Dust
“Home is Blue Dust”
Running scared
Sweat
Running down, body covered
Colliding with and torn root
Feeling fallowing hands and knees
Bear grow bellows behind
Prey moves faster
Harder to see
Bear claws dig into dirt
Increasing speed
The human moves mouth full of dead pine
Running is fast confusing
Looking back
Running to the clearing
Grass and sunlight
A hunter tires.
Runner halts doubles back
Runs back down at an angle wide
Falls sliding face down and tumbles
Scrape, gash, bruise, thud
Off the side of tree
Pine ancient peels off a layer
Fresh sap oozes
There in the distance
Quiet under the trees
A broken vase of blue dust
Extraterrestrial
Attraction a spell said to the silence
The bear claws at the human’s eyes
