chance a glance

 
run!
run through the forest
as fast as ya can!

leap
over fallen trees with moss-covered slick

knee and heave
deep
through the unexpected bog

sprint across the glen
and chance a glance behind

breathe heavy
breathe deep
pump your arms and legs
run run run!

for you know you'll never mend
        and - tortured first
              will die
       at the hands of men
quick, dangerous, and chasing
