Run And Duck

“Ready or not?”
Footfalls and bosom heaves
Through the forest of trees 

Someone please come rescue me
Dragging across the leaves
“Ready or not?”

Silence that’s brief
Duck barely dodging axe’s swing
Footfalls and bosom heave

“Someone help please”
Echoes my cacophony scream
Through the forest of trees
