a hunter's trance

a hunter's trance

i bow to thee
my arrow hot
my mouth a pot
my string free

i sing to thy spirit
i tremble gently
i keep steady
my finger pointed

we circle the fire
four feet
two feet
one in the other

sun becomes moon
moon becomes sun 
the day's begun
the nights loom

i cover thy track
to heaven
thy cover my back
on earth

my primal scream
a call to life
thy dying dream
my vision at night

upon the caves
my mind agrees
we find degrees
in shallow graves

we are the pigment
they see in art
a bleeding heart 
a breathing rock

i bow to thee
spirit of the eland
arrow in hand
be one with me

as tones we slide
on bated breath
we beat a ride
cross length and depth

free in boundedness 
the vibrating string unties
not restrain when breaking
into sacred cavities

i echo the arrow
sacred in flight
i flexed my bow
and pulled it tight

like a bee sting 
i loose my head
break at the neck
my ring of bone
