Guttural, pain
an open wound
a hiss of the snake
so strong, as if it was audible
frozen, stopped in their tracks
minds reeling, panic;
their face a blank
Caught in mid-flight
the predator, the prey
the fight vanished
vanquished in an instant
seeing their history, that face
lost for that moment
on the brink
Racing minds, no thought
caught by the mouse
the snake, the beast
seeing it all too clearly
wanting to run;
To flee, to hide
but court awaits
