rusted fence dry grass
she sees faces in rain
dark insidious meaning harm
away like a startled bird
he follows dog faithful
broken earth dying trees
there is no rest here
she points to rock
he lies in its shadow
marks old as time
only she can read
her hand a sign
he will bleed
return the egg she says
stars scraping overhead
he whimpers foetal
says the shell is cracked
there is no going back
moon hiding vengeful
they follow in cars
tracking closer
she spits lightening
he thinks if only he
could see as she
the spear might not
have pierced so deep
