The Shimmering Flats
Coming down out of the Needles
the light hits your eyes
like a mallet
like a shovel in the face
then you're breathing in
thorns
bits of crystal sand
scraping down your throat
every step you take
kicks up another cloud of
misery
Earthmother, what were you thinking?
Teldarasa
Cool night comes
on feathers and sharp talons
Teldarasa!
another rabbit meets
a bloody, tasty end
Young Shongo's Hunting Chant
Got a shell in the gun
ooah, ooah
Plainstrider in my sights
ooah, ooah
Sun shining on my back
ooah, ooah
Gonna eat good tonight!
Shoot! ooah
