Black Forest



Silence rings out across the moor; fear
Biting wind cuts ears and waters eyes
Black forest waits, inexplicable and unsolved
Intimidating, it waits; open but closed
Dangerous but tempting; dark smoke

Step, step, step, step
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch

Marks left in frost; exposed
Step, stop

The edge
Go back or go forth
Point of no return
Leap of faith
Cold eyes closed
Jump

Plunged; engulfed
Organs drop
Deep iced breath
Step, step, step, step

Murmurs, whispers, hushed hints
Deep iced breath

Single word with trepidation,
Tremor of unease
“Hello?”

Echoes.

Listen for change,
Nothing but myself
Alone
Waiting
