Status 21

 She is asleep, and when she sleeps I am awake

I go into the forest, to the mother of the wilderness

I speak her name into the sky, she knows that I am here.

I go to the one that waits for me and I tell him that it's almost finished

I am almost completely one with her.

I touch the trees

I touch the ground

I know our time together is short, me and the other

I can see her sleeping inside of us

I can feel her dream of the lake where we met

I can hear  her crying out for the man she claims to love

Soon there will be no sleep for her

No dreams

No crying

Only pain

I go to the man she claims to love in the woods.

 I see him laying on the ground in the lap of my sister

She is pleased with what she's done. 

 I too love him

I stroke his hair

I watch him sleep

His pain is almost over

So close

Soon
