MY LADY, WE ARE BEING HUNTED
possibility we are poisoned, possibility

is rising; we are followed; they've clocked our meeting
possibility this is an ambush
possibility they are downwind of us,
they've photographed the house, tattooed the children
possibility they've marked the bread with hexes

possibility the web of idea is upon us.

in the road where we left no footprints
who swallowed yr amber, lady, while we slept
possibility we can hide here indefinitely
possibility that we should cut & run

I have no other
ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life
