The High Hunt (Free verse) by horus8
What will you do with me,
But chase me through the night
Over and over again mother?
Have I not killed for you?
The children, and their dreams
The servants and their loyalty
I cannot and will not begin to
Explain to these stars and trees
These stagnant ponds & poison weeds
How we meet, or work together
All I know is that I am your
Son, lover, and father
Sharing magic and bed with
Wolves and monsters; You bid
Me: Return with song and nightshade
Teach me to charge talismans
How to perfectly love a woman
Grow gods for children
Turn blood into hot copper
And eat the heart of wild stag.
Then abandon me without a word
As sure as daybreak.
