Black Willow

Fantasy

I lay exposed, my wound displayed

I was found in the strangest way:

A hand, and hair; in lightless day

A kiss that didn\'t seem dismayed

 

I was taken, careful and soft

Who was that there? A ghost? A wolf?

A creature no one could hear

whose power I was forced to bear.

 

And silence reigned, the loudest yawp

was in those eyes, icy and sharp—

He tucked me in when it was done

In an instant the ghost was gone.
