"The Hunt": being hunted down and attacked with a poem!


The Hunt Poem by Oriane Lima

 

I smelled your parfum
And horrified
Sensed danger in the air
I am fast alert now
Your're trying to kill me
But you don't see me yet
You try to come
And obliquely
You keep coming
I hold my breath
Petrified
Then, suddenly...
You see...
And yell a poem at me
And you think... I got it!
My heart explodes
As possessed by unnatural instincts
I simply vanish
You missed me
I am fast running, now
In complete panic
Only the noise of my heart
Surrounds me
Then, I realized
That the sound of the very moment
You yelled, to subjugate me,
Is the only sound
That echoes in my mind
...Easy... easy... easy...
But I am free
And trying not to faint
Evading faster and faster
To my secret shelter
Far away from your verses
Poet
