You are the small brightly colored bird that the boys incinerated their hearts upon
They loved you bitterly and called you a witch
You wanted to belong to someone
You found one but he tricked you and tore you like a sisters doll in a mean brothers hands
And so you became the hurricane child,
spewing glass shard,
cat heart blood,
chewing off your foot to get free
I tracked the blood drops through the snow and found you
You didn't fear me
You saw it in me and I saw it in you
And we safetied our weapons
You were the wolf that stood at the edge of my camp fire every night
I would call out to you, but you wouldn't come closer
A few nights later it was very cold and the fire was very bright and we could see each others faces
you saw it in me and I saw it in you
And you came and sat next to me and warmed yourself
We were together from then on and nothing could separate us
The world lost its hold on us
We won out against time and convention
I would give you the map of were all the land mines on my property are and part the razor wire so you could join me behind the tree line
I don't care if I ever see either one of them again, but I could look into your eyes for a long time
Its safe here back behind the tree line
Can you hear me calling to you from across the river?
Please come... hurry
There's not much time
the snipers will be back at their posts soon and crossing will be risky
Please hurry to my heart
I need to hear your breath explode against my neck
There's is only this clenched moment
