Shadowed Grove Within Emerald elf-sparkle sideways in a tail-crushed kitten-spooked state Lily-of-the-valley light in his eyes, supplanting old night frights Gorgeous climbing thriving vines over-stretch and snap for sun's sake She sighed with relief and looked up into his sky "But how long is forever?..." he heard her, anguished, cry Regards her gently for a moment, then graciously replies: "As long as I shall love you" - a necessary lie which at first she takes hearth-glory in, and later cold denies What has driven greater gods to forsake principle for pride But compassion? In the end a lonely tear resides inside that hollow cavity As a clever dragon with cold might silently dispense a nearby buzzing fly, she sniffs a bit, and so causes a lurchingly deadly current shift What great comfort can be found in snuffling moon-tunes to a deaf darkness The vortex he created - she became - and swallowed their self, whole: through a raw and bleeding nose. -ARO->
