Sunfall
“I really need that meat.”
I assure him I won’t, and he runs off, into the woods, not even a proper goodbye and I’m miffed.
Rude.
I’m exhausted, but finally, the sun is setting and I finally don’t feel like I’m about to melt into my fur coat. I stand under the naked tree, its branches swaying, smacking against each other, and I am so still, I feel that I am a tree as well for how long I stand.
I don’t allow myself to move until I can see the guiding light, her belly full in the sky, her smaller children dotting the sky and I finally release the tension, leaning into the tree, my knees creaking along with it.
