the end of the end, there is

peeking over the hedges, and
you have decided
to give up, let go, peel away
from this corporal suffering

with protection spells,
great care
must be taken in

remember that year
when we lost so

off for the rest
of the day, tune
in to everything
so there is no room
for the hunter
