Rain trickled down from the darkening sky
As we trampled through the packed forest
Squirrels and rabbits scampered for their warm, dry homes
While the wolves came out to play
The wind penetrated our jackets and
Into our bones
Soaking us from our heads
Down to our toes
The sun had beat down on us with
Unrestrained brutality moments before
Attempting to fry us like an egg
The trees were kind enough to provide us shelter
With their long and winding branches
With leaves the size of our heads
The trickling rain became a cascade of tears
The clouds weeping
For their
For our
Dying world
Our dying home
The mud beneath our feet became slippery
Each and every step
Became harder and harder
Just to reach the top
To reach the bright
Brilliant stars
That shine above
Oh, how those things
Seem to make everything right
All the poison in the world fades
Ursa Major
Capricornus
Scorpius
Lyra
Orion
That one is my favorite
How the hunter became the hunted
Only visible during the cold winter months
Oh, what a delicacy
As we trampled through the packed forest
Squirrels and rabbits scampered for their warm, dry homes
While the wolves came out to play

Soaking us from our heads

Our dying home
