The Mission

cindy 68
There were places she hadn’t been,
wilds within that had escaped
her gravely silent stalking.
A fuse had been lit.
Concentration was required.
And stillness.
The kind of stillness
that would bring her face to face
with the deeply unremembered aspects
of a self sacrificed
to the god of lost seasons.
