Bounding after everafter bound

Trailing you like a dog-seen scent

A shadow leant animation, enamoured by caster

You alabaster in stillness, cheetah fleet or faster

Your feet soundless, printing no tattoo, water

Through the forest and I follow

Chagrinning rutting harts

Scattering unblinking hinds

Chewing the cud of my bitter defeats

Bleeding into my inkwell, ichor-riven odes.
