87

It was finally almost over
so I came out of the woods
I rejoiced between the bullets
as some were for me
and no one bothered with the silly girl
who they had stripped the forest for
only days ago

And they were almost diminished
when I decided I didn't want to be found

But at least in the woods someone looked
while in the midst of contention
you weren't there to grab my wrist
and take me between walls

So my leg was lightly grazed running back into the woods
to the tree reminiscent of the one in your yard
