“Darts
and Arrows”
cji
5/9/16
Hearing
the twang of many bows
knowing
how close the enemy
hearing
the whistling of arrows
blowguns
being used as well
death
will be very quick now
very
quiet laying not a sound
breathing
almost not at all
closer
and closer they come
smelling
their presence about
darts
and arrows filling the air
hoping
for a strike seeing me not
sensing
a quiet hearing mumbles
still
not to move or even twitch
hours
going by slowly night
passing
into the new day
unmoving
or even to breathe
they
wait and I wait quietly
one day
passes and another
how long
to endure this life
unwilling
to ever give up
once
more a wave of arrows
bowing
of the blowguns
hearing
the twanging of bows!
