FATALITY

Photo of a wolf with head looking back

I cannot be the same. I am disfigured somehow.
Something erased my past.. My paws have been replaced.
Naked from myself.. like a tree in winter.
All intents for deliverance will be futile.

Now my heart is filled with stars.
That fire emanating from eir eyes burns me so.
And the air I can feel the signals towards a darker road.
Every detail of the Earth, I can feel with my paws now.

I live out of inner suggestions, I hear vague shrills.
Eir palpable presence I can feel vividly...
I hear conflicting signals in the night...
And I swim in my dreams, towards another shoreline
as one who must have a fatal appointment with Death.

I cannot be the same.. Do not ask me to sing my old songs.
Do not ask me to find my lost anguish.
A ghastly gust of wind ripped me apart one night.
as a tornado rips through a placid town without warning.

I cannot be the same.. I cannot be as I was once.
I now know what my future holds for me.
I have been branded like a cow
belonging to an absent farmer.
And a light leads me towards somehere
outside of life, where all it ends and begins..
in those balls of fire that are those black rabbit eyes.
