Watch Out- Says the Woods�-

I have this creeping feeling that someone is out to do me harm. I feel the energy around me, this warning in the song of birds…Even the constant rushing whisps of the bay’s chilled air it whispers twisted words of terror to come.

          Come away

Leave this place, which is cold anyway

It is as if steal bars

An icy doctors’ table

These heartless people here are like elephant skin

So rough

Protected against the agony of others pain

They could stand next to a man while he gets murdered and robbed

In front of their wide watching eyes

And their feet

Their feet wouldn’t even shuffle 

Not move an inch

Until the madness was gone,

Stepping over the spilling pile of blood, Over the small rivers

They just look

Watch

Then turn and walk away ….

no descriptions

No, nothing to say

To the ….police

But the block knows

Harboring their criminals

By fear…Even their hearts are wrapped with elephant skin

No kind words for anyone…Every one is a adversary they say with a gleam in their eyes 

Why would they welcome a new comer?

With anything other than spitting game

Their scam

Anything that will put a dollar in their pocket

Even if it comes out of mine,

Even better if it comes out of mine.

No wonder nature here warns for me to leave….to run

I come from the forest…Born and raised 

I have it in my blood…

Bee charmer

I am not like them

And the birds know

Warning me with the hawks stare

Run away, they say

Woman raised in the evaluation of the Indian clay

Escape, they say back to where it is safe
