Through woodland and forest
I run, I run,
The city dimming behind me.
Friends grow away
As I run and run,
My many skins shedding.
My scars erased
I run and run,
Myself falling from me.
In shadows, in lightning,
Now running, now slowing,
A batter against closed eyelids.
… pause… breathe…
Earthen colours
Sink through skin…
The birds have stopped their tales.
The wind has caught his breath.
Soaked in silence, waning…
When from the void
A voice invokes
My name.
