Bronzed skin catches dying light<\/p>\n
Muscles flex, heaving, at the end of the chase<\/p>\n
Her breath slows, though she sits anxious still<\/p>\n
She waits for the wood to darken–<\/p>\n
she moves best in the moonlight<\/p>\n
A familiar bush sits to her left<\/p>\n
and she smirks, pinches a berry and crushes it in her teeth<\/p>\n
A curious wind twists through the trees<\/p>\n
and the light shifting in the foliage<\/p>\n
bounces, echoing opalescence<\/p>\n
through the heaviness of night<\/p>\n
The wild woman embraces<\/p>\n
this chosen disorientation, and<\/p>\n
falls into the fragrance<\/p>\n
of jasmine and pine<\/p>\n
The moon focuses its glow upon<\/p>\n
her sun-beaten brow, and she directs<\/p>\n
her gaze toward the stars<\/p>\n
drinking in their milky glow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
