Are you a Hunter or a Farmer?
Are you a hunter or a farmer
The old man asked me
Pondering I looked into the past…
The devil took me
Slung me over his shoulder
After wrapping me in a wool blanket
My eyelashes burned
My stomach, empty as a drained bottle
Ached
The cave was silent
Save for the crackling
Shadows from the fire
Whispered on the walls
Then he spoke
His voice haunting
Echoing through the cave
I shut my eyes
Focusing on every word
And then I appeared on the moon
Floating sideways over craters
Weightless interaction
Instant satisfaction
What pain I had
What past I carried
Drifted away
Floating
Simply floating
Time slowed
I could see the earth
Floating as a vivid jewel
What price had I paid for my entire life
What dream I never thought I’d wake from
I vanished
Simply floated away
And there she stood
Her flaming sword held high
I stared
Aware of her brightness
What could I say
She took me in her eyes
And led me through the horizon
Time vanished
Simply floated away
I’m both I told her
