My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Into the Woods

I went deep into the woods today,
further than I have ever been.
I flung away the ridiculously heavy,
sweaty red velvet hooded cloak.
I stood naked as Eve
before Jehovah told her it was shameful.
I had forgotten the bliss
of my own skin.
I began to roar,
nay HOWL.
I felt prickles on my scalp.
The mother wolves
joined my chorus.
I will never believe
that old, damn fairytale again.
