In The Woods
When she meant to pull him
fast into her dream,
it seemed she was mistaken,
for all her efforts and her strain:
in vain they were, in vain.
She did fall, yes,
but not where she intended,
instead, in end, she was led
to his head, the one
she thought was dead.
In the woods, green met her eyes
and subtle cries to her ears,
half her fears
addressed by the voice,
as her choice caressed the rest.
He stood, and she too,
the two, staring there: he tried, and
she knew he would if he could,
but his bare hands were tied
to the death in those woods.
