Arrows In Dark
Shooting Arrows In The Dark
I spend all day collecting targets --
prey for my instinctive arrows,
honed but hollow.
I toil, spy from the backdrop --
camouflage and build a dream of capture
before sunset.
When distracted, too late,
dark shrouds cloak my head.
In my little hide away,
ears keen, nose clean, I think --
check traps, wind my way
through this scene, and soon after go
clumsily through thick woods --
pitched dark, black
before I'm lost.
Shooting arrows in the dark,
in this theater,
purposed, resilient,
adds no kill -- maims a toe or two,
blisters the adjoining fingers to a savage construct,
weaponized mind -- aiming to become
more practiced when real game comes.
